A

the founder species of finches on the Galapagos islands able to form such a large variation of beak types because <u>the birds colonizing the islands were reproductively isolated. </u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

The different founder species populations on the different islands could not mate randomly due to the distances between the islands. The reproductive isolation of the different populations caused the different populations to adapt to the conditions of their island (environment), by natural selection. Since every island has different environmental conditions, the different populations of finches evolved variable based on their island conditions.

A scientist constructs a graph to show the age structure that f the human population of county
DedPeter [7]

Based on the graph, it can be concluded that the population is increasing rapidly because of the youth of the population.

<h3>What is population?</h3>

The population of a species is the number of organisms of the same species found within a given habitat.

Population graphs are used to describe the trend in the population of a given species of organisms.

The factors that affects population growth of a country include:

  • fertility rates,
  • mortality rates or life expectancy,
  • the initial age profile of the population, and
  • migration

Given the population graph of the country, the conclusion can be drawn is that the population is increasing rapidly because of the youth of the population.

In conclusion, the higher the fertility rate the faster the population growth.
