Explanation:
Adaptive radiation is the relatively fast evolution of many species from a single common ancestor. Adaptive radiation generally occurs when an organism enters a new area and different traits affect its survival.

Answer:
- Adaptive radiation is an evolutionary process that produces new species from a single, rapidly diversifying lineage.
- This process occurs due to natural selection.
- 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.
- The insectivorous, blood suc*king, and other species of finches with varied dietary habits have evolved from a single seed eating finch ancestor.
