Natural selection would probably favor different varieties in the different islands. In other words, beaks changed as the birds developed different tastes for fruits, seeds, or insects picked from the ground or cacti (due to lack of food resources). Long, pointed beaks made some of them more fit for picking seeds out of cactus fruits.

Hope This Helps!

Plants on a Forest Floor: Competition

Explain Interaction: The plants on the forests floor compete with each other for the same resources. Both may not receive enough of those resources. Note: When I was around Middle School and High-school I was only taught mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism, so let me know if competition is not a choice your teacher gives you to choose from or wasn't taught to you

Human gametes are _____. <br> isogamous<br> anisogamous <br> oogamous <br> none of the above
Alinara [238K]

Human gametes are oogamous.

Oogamous is a form of anisogamy which best describes human gametes. Oogamous is characterized by the joining of a large, immobile egg and a small, mobile sperm for reproduction. The male gametes are extremely motile and they are usually responsible for the joining of the corresponding gametes. The wide extension of oogamy in higher animals brings about the conclusion that the high motility of the gametes makes them to perform their respective roles better than it could be performed by general isogametes
