Answer: C. The finches all appeared to be related but different from the mainland population.

Darwin compared the finches of Galapagoes island and Mainland. He hypothesized the fact that one species might have migrated to the Galapagoes island from mainland and undergone with modifications in different ends from the ancestor species. He proposed that around 13 species of finches evolved from a single ancestor species. This process in which one species giving rise to multiple species which have different corresponding niches is called as adaptive radiation. These finches were adapted according to their different diets: seeds, flowers, insects and leaves. The ancestor finches were ground-dwelling and insect eating. The expense of speciation  in the Galapagoes island resulted in 14 species of finches which includes three species of ground-dwelling seed eaters, three others living on cactus and eating seeds, one living in trees and eating seeds, and 7 species of tree-dwelling insect-eaters. Therefore, the finches all appeared to be related but different from the mainland population.

Which statements correctly explain why biological productivity in the tropical ocean is so meager when compared to biological pr
Anni [7]
<span>The answer to this question would be: 
- The permanent thermocline presents a barrier that keeps nutrients in deeper water from mixing with surface waters.
- The sunlight penetrates deep into the tropical ocean, warming the surface waters and creating stratification of water masses.

In tropical lands, the area is getting sunlight all around the year. This will cause the plant to be able to do photosynthesis all around the year too. Sunlight can penetrate the ocean, but the intensity will be much lower in deeper part. The ocean also become warmer but it will become cold in the deeper part too. </span>
