Answer:

The most appropriate answer would be C. It would have outcompeted the other finches in the area

The finch with large beak has survival advantage over the finches with small beaks.

With this trait they can reach and explore more resources than the finches with small beaks.

In addition, the trait would increase in the population under the process of natural selection.

Thus, the finch with large beak would out-compete the finches with smaller beaks.

Debora [2.8K]

Explanation:

The discoveries indicates that the rocks were formed over millions of years ago due to the age of fossils they contain.

Fossils are the preserved remains of life found in rocks. Most fossils are used in relative dating of rocks.

  • Dinosaurs are extinct organisms that once lived in the Mesozoic. This was about 100 million years ago.
  • Tool man also grazed the surface of the earth just a few thousands to a million years.
  • We are able to find their fossils in rocks because they have lived in some certain geologic periods.
  • Here we are using the fossils to date the rock and this is called relative dating

scZoUnD [109]

The correct answer is: The recessive allele produces a phenotype that is better able to survive and reproduce than the dominant phenotype.

Natural selection (adaptation mechanism), gene flow, and mutation combine to change allele frequencies across generations. Natural selection tends to increase in frequency beneficial alleles, while it tends to decrease in frequency deleterious alleles.
