Birds belong to different species but share similar characteristics. What inference can be correctly drawn about this statement? (5 points) Group of answer choices

All birds share the same habitat.

All birds produced similar offspring.

All birds reproduce with genetic variation.

All bird species adapt through evolution

All bird species adapt through evolution

Explanation:

The correct answer would be that all birds reproduce with genetic variation and adapt through evolution.

Sexual reproduction causes genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms due to crossing over and a random assortment of genes. Birds can only reproduce sexually and hence. they produce offspring that are genetically different but that might share many similar characteristics.

Evolution refers to the development of complex organisms from simple ancestral ones. Organisms change and evolve as they constantly try to adapt to their changing environments. Hence, organisms of the same species growing in a different environment might end up becoming different species as a result of adapting to their different environments, although they would still have some similarities to one another. In other words, evolution has a tendency to cause speciation.
