Please help with these as they are part of 1 question and I am so confused. I really need help like never before and I will highly consider thumbs up but please help asap. 1- Flightlessness in the Rhea may be an example of character displacement. ( choose true or false)2- The distribution of all four lineages of birds can be explained by vicariance caused by plate tectonics. ( choose true or false)3- In this phylogeny, flight may have been lost seven individual times. ( choose true or false)4- The distributions of Tinamous and Rheas are an example of competitive exclusion.

This is a two part question, please write two separate essays, one for each part. Part 1: what is punctuated equilibrium and does the presence of fossils that are consistent with punctuated equilibrium mean that natural selection does not occur? Explain why or why not. Part 2: Does natural selection predict a gradualistic mode of evolution or punctuated equilibrium? Be sure to explain your answer.
