The following questions refer to this hypothetical situation. A female fly,full of fertilized eggs,is swept by high winds to an island far out to sea.She is the first fly to arrive on this island,and the only fly to arrive in this way.Thousands of years later,her numerous offspring occupy the island,but none of them resembles her.There are,instead,several species,each of which eats only a certain type of food.None of the species can fly,for their flight wings are absent,and their balancing organs (in other words,halteres)are now used in courtship displays.The male members of each species bear modified halteres that are unique in appearance to their species.Females bear vestigial halteres.The ranges of all of the daughter species overlap. -Which of the following is a limit of evolution that results in exaptations?
A)Natural selection and sexual selection can work at cross-purposes to each other. B)Evolution is limited by historical constraints. C)Adaptations are often compromises. D)Chance events affect the evolutionary history of populations in environments that can change unpredictably.
