tatuchka [14]2 years ago
5 0

Answer: In adaptive radiation, many different species evolve from a single ancestor species. Each new species evolves to exploit a different niche, such as food source. In the example above, Hawaiian honeycreepers evolved a range of bill forms in response to available food sources on the Hawaiian archipelago. The honeycreepers dispersed from one founder species, and evolved in response to natural selection based on different food sources in their isolated habitats provided by water. Seed-eating birds evolved thick, short beaks.

A bear has an ___________ that is inside its body. Its skeleton is made of bone and cartilage, not of ____________ like a grassh
vova2212 [387]
From what I can tell, The answer is either A or B. Mammals have what is called an Endoskeleton, which means that their skeletons are inside their bodies. A way to remember this is Exo- is similar to exit and when you exit something then you are going outside. Endo- sounds like into, which can relate to being on the inside. Insects have Exoskeletons, which are made from Chitin. Now Agonists are also called Prime Mover muscles, which means they are practically the same thing.
