Question

The branching in the diagram above indicates the development of several new species. When new species arise: * A) New species immediately appear different and that is why the branch is created. B) The original species will no long have the need or desire to evolve. C) The original species will soon become extinct because the new species is better adapted to the environment. D) New species have characteristics that are similar to the original species Body form FIGURE 4 The historical development of the lineages of several animal species

Explanation / Answer

Answer

Option D is the right answer because a species is formed when a group of an individual separated from their original group so they can evolve new traits. So the duration of separation is directly proportional to the probability of developing new species. Therefore new species will have similar characteristics with their immediate descendant.
