Answer 1

Adaptive radiation

it is aprocess of fast evolution of many species from common ancestor it is due to adapatations acquired from different places different availability and different habits all these things affect survival of species make changes accordingly

E.g.develpoment of mammals after extinction of dinosours

Macroevolution

it has multiple aspects

differences between two closely relatae species which cannot mate due to barriers imposed by reproductive isolation this is also called speciation

e.g. african elephant and asian elephant

macroevolution also explains common descent i.e. common ancestry shared by all living organisms
