About thirteen different species of finches inhabit the Galápagos Islands today, all descendants of a common ancestor from the S

outh American mainland that arrived a few million years ago. Genetically, there are four distinct lineages, but the thirteen species are currently classified among three genera. The first lineage to diverge from the ancestral lineage was the warbler finch (genus Certhidea). Next to diverge was the vegetarian finch (genus Camarhynchus), followed by five tree finch species (also in genus Camarhynchus) and six ground finch species (genus Geospiza). If the six ground finch species have evolved most recently, then which of these is the most logical prediction? O O O O A. They should be limited to the six islands that most recently emerged from the sea. B. The chances of hybridization between two ground finch species should be less than the chances of hybridization between two tree finch species. C. They should share fewer anatomical homologies with each other than they share with the tree finches. D. Their genomes should be more similar to each other than are the genomes of the five tree finch species

Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Species can, given enough time, get affected for various reasons and end up as resulting in two or more different species that have descended from the same point. And the more time goes by, the more difference there will be among their genotypes and therefore fenotypes.

The example given in the question depicts a situation where a single species branched into thirteen different ones and the most logical prediction given the information in the question is that their genomes should be similar to each other than the genomes of the other five species because their evolution into different species is the most recent one therefore more similarities should be present.

I hope this answer helps.

Pavlova-9 [17]
In this kind of population, the make up of the population's gene pool will remain virtually the same as long as these conditions hold. In this kind of situation, no evolution can take place, all thing will remain the same. For evolution to occur, competition must exist.

<h2>Galapagos Finch </h2>

Explanation:

Darwin's finches are a classical example of an adaptive radiation

  • Darwin's finches common ancestor arrived on the Galapagos about two million years ago,during the time that has passed the Darwin's finches have evolved into 15 recognized species differing in body size, beak shape, song and feeding behavior
  • Changes in size and form of the beak have enabled different species to utilize different food resources such us insects, seeds, nectar from cactus flowers all driven by Darwinian selection
  • From 1831 to 1836, Darwin was part of a survey expedition carried out by the ship HMS Beagle, which included stops in South America, Australia, and the southern tip of Africa
  • At each of the stop, Darwin had the opportunity to study the local plants and animals
  • Darwin found that nearby islands in the Galapagos had similar but nonidentical species of finches living on them,he noted that each finch species was well-suited for its environment and role
  • For example species that ate large seeds tended to have large, tough beaks, while those that ate insects had thin, sharp beaks
  • According to Darwin's idea, this pattern would make sense if the Galapagos Islands had long ago been populated by birds from the neighboring mainland
  • On each island, the finches might have gradually adapted to local conditions (over many generations and long periods of time)
  • This process could have led to the formation of one or more distinct species on each island
  • Darwin developed and refined a set of ideas that could explain the patterns he had observed during his voyage
  • In his book, On the Origin of Species, Darwin outlined his two key ideas: evolution and natural selection
  • Natural selection which also known as “survival of the fittest,” is the more prolific reproduction of individuals with favorable traits that survive environmental change because of those traits; this leads to evolutionary change
