Question

The shape of the beaks of Darwin's finches and industrial melanism are often cited as examples of the process of ________ leading to evolutionary change.
a. artificial selection
b. coevolution
c. intelligent design
d. founder effect
e. natural selection

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection explains how certain desirable traits like;

- shape of the beaks of Darwin's finches: to help them feed more easily

- industrial melanism to raise a population of dark-coloured organisms to evolve from pre-existing light coloured ones in industrial areas where the surrondings are blackened with soot;

are favored over LESS DESIRABLE TRAITS, resulting in organisms that are most suited/adapted to thrive in an environment, which is evolutionary change
