A data set contains an independent and a dependent variable. Which must be true of the data set if a linear function can be used to represent the data?

The set must have a constant additive rate of change.
The set must have a constant multiplicative rate of change.
The values in the set must be positive.
The values in the set must be increasing.

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.
