Question

multiple choice question
the evolution of these organisms is an example of adaptive radiation because populations were isolated and adapted to newly formed islands or habitat patches formed by lava flows.

hawaiian drosophila
lake victoria cichlids
caribbean anolis lizards
galapagos finches

Explanation:

Hawaiian Drosophila evolved through adaptive radiation due to isolation on newly - formed islands or habitat patches from lava flows. Lake Victoria cichlids radiated in a lake environment mainly due to ecological opportunities. Caribbean Anolis lizards adapted to different micro - habitats on islands but not specifically due to new islands from lava flows. Galapagos finches radiated due to different food sources on the islands.

Answer:

Hawaiian Drosophila
