A cluster of very closely related flower species are found on an island chain in the South Pacific Ocean. It is likely that each species evolved to fit a different niche environment through the process of Adaptive radiation

Step-by-step explanation:

It is noticed that in islands closely related flower species are found in an island chain. This is because the species undergo a process called adaptive radiation. The species gets transferred from one immigrant population of one island to another through an evolutionary path followed by certain species of plants to spread wide.

They use different dispersal methods to establish their species in another island. They attract insects to visit and transfer their pollen. Likewise they follow many such strategies to produce an offspring that are very successful in getting accustomed to the new environment.
