Answer:

A. Some speculate that they were blown out to the islands by a massive storm

Explanation:

The common rosefinches are thought to have arrived on the Hawaii islands between 6 and 7 million years ago. As the common rosefinches are not big birds and they can not fly over very long distances, the scientists believe that it is a massive storm that blow some individuals to the Hawaii islands. This is nothing weird, as it has been witnessed numerous times how massive storms manage to carry some smaller birds to places where they are not able to fly on their own. Once there, the birds encountered suitable conditions for living and lot of open niches in the food chain. This resulted in quick diversification of the common rosefinches, with members of the species gradually adapting to a particular niche, experiencing changes to be more competent, and creating numerous new species after some time.

daser333 [38]

The correct answer is E. Vertebrates are all related to a common ancestor

Explanation:

According to biology and evolution, organisms from different species but that share similarities in morphology (body structures) as well as in genetics often have a phylogenetic relationship which means they descend from the same organism or share a common ancestor. This applies to multiple taxonomical levels including classes such as mammals or birds as it has been proved each of this derived from a common ancestor. Therefore, the similarity in the body structure (morphology) in all mammals suggest vertebrates are related to a common ancestor and as they evolved from this, they share similarities not only in terms of morphology but also in genetics.
