How are finches in the Galapagos islands a good example of adaptation?

Biology

solmaris [256]3 years ago
5 0

The finches on the Galapagos Islands are a good example of adaptation because they all trace their ancestry into a small group of finches that inhabited these islands, but diversified in accordance to the environment. On the Galapagos Islands, there are finches that have numerous types of different beak shapes and sizes, despite them all being derived from a single group of finches that had the same characteristics. The reason for this is that once they got to these islands, there were multiple niches int the food chain that were free for taking. Some finches started to feed on plants, some on seeds, some became insect-eaters etc. Every food type needs special adaptation so that the finches can eat it more easily, or even be able to get to its nutritional part, thus their beaks started to change in accordance to their food preference.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The correct answer is - 1990.

Explanation:

From the graph and year - population size table it is clearly understood that the population of grizzly bear is reduced by 39 number from year 1988 to 1989.

But after 1989 from 1990 onwards population of grizzly bear is consistently rising.

Now, let us analyse the data given in question number 2 .

No. of grizzly bear deaths in Alberta from 1976 to 1988 = 581

No. of grizzly bear deaths in Alberta from 1988 to 2000 = 281

From the above data we can clearly say now that the grizzly bear population deaths starts increasing from 1990.

So, the prediction made in question no. 1 that " the government of Alberta introduced the hunting lottery award in 1990 because in 1989 it decreases and then it starts to go up again in 1990",
