Answer:

A single lineage diversifies rapidly, and descendant species occupy many habitats and ecological roles.

Explanation:

In biology, adaptive radiation refers to a phenomenon in which organisms tend to diversify rapidly from a common ancestor and then radiate into a multitude of new organisms.

These new organisms may have to change their environment in order to survive. This change in their environment creates new challenges and may lead to the appearance of new environmental niches.
