The finches of the Galapagos are a perfect species to model evolution because it shows that beaks changed as a result of the environmental conditions. Which statement below best explains how one ancestral finch population give rise to 13 species, each with different characteristics?
Question 5 options:

Finches traveled and settled to different islands giving rise to the 13 various finches—one on each island.

Groups of individual finches with particular advantageous traits were naturally selected by the environment, and over many generations evolved into a different species dependent upon environmental factors.

One finch had different offspring which then evolved to the 13 various finches.

Finches were not derived from the one ancestral finch and were all different from the beginning.

the right option is the second one because this species could be envolted just because of natural selection

Explanation:

the correct answer is - d. china has a large and growing population.

the fact that china has a large (the biggest) population, and it is still growing, doesn't hinder the agriculture production in the country. in fact, it can for increased production in the agriculture, since there's more labor force, as well the sheer mass of people produces lots of scientists that come up with new inventions as to how to improve this sector. nice example is the inner mongolia region in china, in general dominated by the gobi desert, but few scientist came up with a nice idea as to how to make the region productive by using plants that are very resistant to droughts, so lots of people have been employed, and the region is becoming greener and greener each year, and the production of food in this region is also increasing.
