Earthworms have two muscles which is used in locomotion. Both muscles are circular and longitudinal (inner layer of the series of muscles). The diameter of the earthworms body is reduced when the circular muscles are contracted which makes them appear to be thin. The worm appears short when the longitudinal muscles contract thus, its length is reduced.
Amphioxus on the other hand, have two unique muscle fiber types. This includes deep fibers and smaller but mitochondria-rich superficial fibers. E<span>ach of which has its own innervation.</span>

Answer:
The finches on Galapagos Islands had different beak
The beaks of the finches changed over time
The Galapagos finches had a common ancestor
Explanation: Darwin's Finches are a good example of natural selection and adaptive radiation of evolution. The different finches in Galapagos Island have emerged from a common black, seed eating, short beak finches. This is called adaptive radiation, where different species arose from a single ancestor.
Due to changes in the natural environment, food resources, some finches have a long beak. This long beaks help them to eat insects. As a result, the competition will be less and nature selects them to survive in the new environment. This is a natural selection of evolution.
Buildup of organisms means that the species number is pretty high.
Gradual change means that it was a slow, calm time to make the change.
I hope this helps!!
