A small tree was planted at a height of 5 feet. The tree has been planted for 16 months, and is now 61 feet tall. Which equation could be used to find x, the average number of feet the tree grew each month?
A. 5x + 16 = 61

B.16x + 5 = 61
C. 61x + 5 = 16
D. 16x + 61 = 5

B

Step-by-step explanation:

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
