Answer option c.They form a monophyletic group to the exclusion of finches species on the mainland.
Darwin’s finches is a classical example of adaptive radiation.Darwin’s finches have evolved into 15 species differing to body size, beak shape,song and feeding habit.
Option a,d and e are wrong.They all eat different food.There are bud eaters,Insect eaters,cactus eaters and seed eaters.
Option b is also incorrect.Difference in beak size and shape is primarily due to natural selection.Species differ in beak size and shape,reflecting adaptation to different diets.

Which of these statements is true of the 15 Galapagos finch species? a.) they all eat the same food b.) differences in beak size and shape is primarily due to genetic drift O c.) they form a monophyletic group to the exclusion of finch species on the mainland O d.) a and b O e.) a, b, and c
Which of the following statements about genetic drift as an evolutionary factor is true? a. It is more potent in a population with small numbers than in a population with large numbers. b. It is responsible for the selection of mutations. c. It is connected to the movements of alleles between populations of a single species. d. Its strength is proportional to the size of a population: the larger the population, the greater the force. e. Both a and b
Which of the following statements about pseudogenes is true? Question 21 options: A) Very few pseudogenes have been identified.

5. Which of the following statements is true about the theory of evolution? The focus of the theory of evolution is to explain the origins of life. According to the theory of evolution, life evolved entirely randomly. The focus of the theory of evolution is to explain how life diversified from the first living cells.

Question 6 1 pts You compare the genomes of two related species. You find that genes that regulate developmental processes (the ones that shape how the body forms) exhibit a lot of non-synonymous substitutions, while genes involved in basic cell function exhibit more synonymous substitutions. What does this indicate? The developmental regulation genes have undergone positive selection for changes in function, while the basic cell function genes have undergone purifying selection The developmental regulation genes have undergone purifying selection, while...
