Question

for the tree on the right, which of the following statements is true? *
the twig lizard evolved first on all of the islands, and then the canopy and grass lizards evolved from the twig lizard.
different body types evolved once, and then populations of individuals with those body types ended up on different islands.
there are two ancestors to all the lizards, the twig lizard and the canopy lizard.
each body type evolved repeatedly and independently on each island.

Explanation:

This refers to the evolutionary biology of Caribbean anole lizards. Studies show that on each island, similar body types (twig, canopy, grass) evolved independently through convergent evolution, rather than evolving once and dispersing, or having a single ancestral type that diverged across all islands first.

Answer:

Each body type evolved repeatedly and independently on each island.
