An example of

adaptive radiation is Darwin finches, found in Galapagos Island. A large variety of finches is present in Galapagos Island that arose from a single species, which reached

this land accidentally. As a result, many new species have evolved, diverged, and

adapted to occupy new habitats. These finches have developed different eating habits

and different types of beaks to suit their feeding habits.

One example of evolution is the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria. Over time, exposure to antibiotics causes the survival of bacteria that have genetic mutations allowing them to resist the effects of the drugs. These resistant bacteria can then reproduce and pass on their resistance traits to future generations, leading to the evolution of antibiotic-resistant strains.

The best example of an adaptive radiation is the finches. They are species derived from same ancestor. Because of being exposed to mechanisms of natural selection they became more adapted to the environment.

Evolution is change over time, and an example is any organism, since they all change. I used butterfly! :)

Adaptive radiation is something that occurs when there is not already an established species in a new environment. This means that there is no competition and species can grow quickly.

birds are evolved from reptiles and the proof is the fossil record of archeopterix.......which is half bird and half reptile.
