❤️...HELLO...❤️

●Explain divergent evolution in detail. What is the driving force behind it?​

Answer 1

$\huge\bigstar\underline\green{Answer}$

★ the process of evolution of different species in a given geographical area starting from a point and literally radiating to other areas of geography (habits) is called adaptive radiation.

★ Both the homology and adaptive radiation are based on divergent evolution.

★EXAMPLES:-

★DARWIN'S FINCH:-

★ from the original seed eating features many other forms with altered beaks arose enabling them to become insectivorous and vegetarian finches.

★ AUSTRALIAN MARSUPIALS:-

★ number of marsupials, each different from the other evolved from an ancestral stock, but all within the Australian Island continent.

★PLACENTAL MAMMALS:-

★ A number of placental mammals have evolved from a common ancestral type in other parts of the world also. Placental mammals in Australia also exhibit adaptive radiation.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey mate

DIVERGENT EVOLUTION:-

Divergent evolution or divergent selection is the accumulation of differences between closely related populations within a species, leading to speciation.

Divergent evolution is typically exhibited when two populations become separated by a geographic barrier (such as in allopatric or peripatric speciation) and experience different selective pressures that drive adaptations to their new environment.

DRIVING FORCE :-

The driving force behind, it is adaptations to newly involved habitat and the prevailing environmental conditions there
