18708.

Question : Darwin's finches and Australian marsupials are suitable examples of adaptive radiation- Justify the statement.

Answer»

Solution :Darwin.s finches are the birds whose common ancestor aived on the Galapagos about 2 million years AGO. During that time, Darwin.s finches have evolved into 14 recognized species differing in body size, beak shape and feeding behavior. Changes in the size and form of the beak have enabled different species to utilize different food resources such as insects, seeds, nectar from cactus flowers and blood from iguanas, all driven by Natural selection. Genetic VARIATION in the ALXI gene in the DNA of Darwin finches is asociated with variation in the beak shape. Mild mutation in the ALXI gene leads to phenotypic change in the shape of the beak of the Darwin finche.
Marsupials in Australia and PLACENTAL mammals in North America are two subclasses of mammals they have adapted in similar way to a particular food resource, locomotory skill or climate. They were separated from the common ancestor more than 100 million years ago and each lineage continued to evolve independently. Despite temporal and geographical separation, marsupials in Australia and placental mammals in North America have produced varieties of species living in similar habitats with similar WAYS of lifc. Their overal resemblance in shape, locomotory mode, fecding and foraging are superimposed upon different MODES of reproduction. This feature reflects their distinetive evolutionary relationships.
Over 200 species of marsupials live in Australia along with many fewer species of placental mammals. The marsupials have undergone adaptive radiation to occupy the diverse habitats in Australia. just as the placental mammals have radiated across North America.
