For a introduced species to be invasive species, there needs to be certain characteristics of the species.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>
Invasive species are the species that belong to some other place and are introduced to a new place by means of any human interference. But many species are often transferred from one place to another. But not all of them remain there as an invasive species. This is because for being an invasive species, they need to have certain characteristics:
A. They need to have high rate of reproduction.
B. They need to have short dormancy periods.
C. They need to have high generic variability.
D. They need to be polyphagous and gregarious.
E. They need to have high dispersal rate and great adaptability.
F. They need to have phenotypic plasticity.
Protons are equal to atomic number. Meaning the answer would be 64.

Answer:
Natural selection
Explanation:
Microevolution refers to changes produced at a lower level than species. In genetics, microevolution is the change in the allelic frequency perceptible in a few generations. Most of these naturally produced changes by mutation, natural selection, genetic flux, genetic drift.
After the drought on Daphne Major, many of the plants producing small-sized seeds decreased their reproductive rate drastically. Consequently, there were almost no seeds available for the medium ground finch to feed. The population of this species also decreased to only a hundred birds over two years. Weather conditions and food availability influenced the survival of the animals.
With time, the finched population increased again, but now, the average size of the beaks was larger. The trait modification was related to the availability of only larger seeds with thick husks.
Eating large seeds with medium or small-sized beaks was impossible, so Finches needed to adapt, developing larger beaks to crack open the husks and eat the contents of the seeds.
<u>Natural selection was responsible for the rapid change in the finches´ population beaks size after the drought. </u>The evolutive force modifies the allelic frequencies, increasing the frequency of genetic variants that expressed the larger beak size and declining the frequency of the alleles that expressed smaller beak size.
