Only a specialized species with potential for adaptation to varied ecological niches can lead to all the later diversification and specialization of forms into particular ecological niches. true or false

True

Explanation:

Generalized and specialized characteristics

This is wholly related to adaptive radiation as it as to do with a transition from generalized characteristics to specialized characteristics.

These two terminology express the adaptive potential of a specific trait.

Generalized trait

Are well adapted for diverse activities. An example is the ancestral characters.

Specialized trait

Are restricted to a few kind of activities. Am example is the derived characters.

Note: Only a generalized ancestor can give the flexible evolutionary background for a swift diversification.

Therfore, its TRUE to say "Only a generalized species with potential for adaptation to varied ecological niches can lead to all the later diversification and specialization of forms into particular ecological niches."

the law of original horizontality explains:   why rocks appear in layers. correct answer: b the law suggests that all rock layers are originally laid down (deposited) horizontally and can later be deformed.   the principle is used by geologists to make assumptions about the relative ages of sedimentary rocks.

linnaeus is the father of taxonomy, which is the system of classifying and naming organisms. one of his contributions was the development of a hierarchical system of classification of nature. today, this system includes eight taxa: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
