Use absolute value to express the distance between −10 and 16 on the number line.
a. |−10 − 16| = −6
b. |−10 − 16| = 6
c. |−10 − 16| = −26
d. |−10 − 16| = 26

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.
