Adaptive radiation occurs when:
Question options:
one species gives rise to multiple closely related species.
several species adapt to one environment.
species adapt to environments with high radiation levels.

multiple closely related species.
Evolutionary synthesis is:
Question options:
the concept of evolution through natural selection.
,a unified theory of evolution that combines genetics with natural selection.

Thomas Malthus's contribution to natural selection is the:
a. binomial taxonomic system of naming species.
b. theory that the earth's old age is based on geologic evidence resulting from
cataclysmic
events.
c. observation that an abundance of food would allow a population to increase
geometrically
and indefinitely, but there simply is not enough food, so populations are limited by food
supply.
d. theory that environmental resources increase to population pressures. - ANSWERSc.
observation that an abundance of food would allow a population to increase
geometrically
and indefinitely, but there simply is not enough food, so populations are limited by food
supply.
