Charles Darwin's finding that the finches on the Galapagos islands looked different from the mainland finches despite their common ancestry from South America is an example of <u>C. adaptive radiation</u>.
<h3>What is common ancestry?</h3>
Common ancestry refers to blood relationships. Thus, two species may have common ancestry if they are related by blood.
According to Charles Darwin, common ancestry explains the similarities between different species.
However, a rapid increase in the number of species with a common ancestor, characterized by great ecological and morphological diversity results from adaptive radiation.
Thus, Charles Darwin's finding that the finches on the Galapagos islands looked different from the mainland finches despite their common ancestry from South America is an example of <u>C. adaptive radiation</u>.

Answer:
Because plants cannot walk around and take their seeds to other places, they have developed other methods to disperse (move) their seeds. The most common methods are wind, water, animals, explosion and fire. Dandelion seeds float away in the wind.
Explanation:
Reef-building corals were
confined to relatively shallow depths because
many of these corals have microscopic algae
called zooxanthellae living inside their soft tissues.
These algae
are often important for the corals’ nutrition and
growth, but require sunlight for photosynthesis. There is no sunlight deep in the water.
Hello,
I believe green water is more fertile. Green water<span> is the soil moisture from precipitation, used by plants via transpiration. It is part of the evapotranspiration flux in the hydrologic cycle. Blue water is just ground and surface water.
