Question

a scientist studied the evolutionary relationships among 8 species of bears. the scientist constructed the following diagram to show her conclusions. which statements help explain the scientist’s conclusions? select all of the answers that apply. a. all 8 species of modern bears have the same adaptations. b. the same ancestral bear species can give rise to two or more species of modern bears. c. each of the 8 species of modern bears may have high fitness in only some environments.

Explanation:

Answer:

B. The same ancestral bear species can give rise to two or more species of modern bears.
C. Each of the 8 species of modern bears may have high fitness in only some environments.

(Note: Option A is incorrect because different bear species have different adaptations suited to their environments, so they do not all have the same adaptations.)
