2.Natural selection does not

select what a species needs.

make favorable traits more common.

help populations adapt. ( i picked this one)

only dominant traits are passed on from parent to offspring.

populations change over time in response to changes in the environment.

populations never change

7.A genotype describes

Question 1 (Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands several times. He observed some very unusual species. One species of bird, the finch, interested him. He observed some differences in the finches living on different islands. The finches that lived on each island had a different beak. Some beaks were short some long. Some beaks looked straight while others curved. Darwin believed that each species of finch was related but had developed some special beak adaptations because there were different food sources on each island.

What is the main idea of this paragraph?

Finches on different islands have different beak structures which Darwin believed was related to what they ate.

Finches have different diets

Darwin believed that finches can live anywhere as long as their beak structure is well suited for the food supply.

Finches are picky eaters

——————————————————————————–

of South America because
their ancestors had migrated from South America to the Galapagos Islands.
they had all been created by God to match their habitat.
the island organisms had the same nucleotide sequences in their DNA as the mainland organisms.
he found fossils proving that the animals and plants had common ancestors.

According to Darwin, evolution occurs
by chance.
during half-life periods of 5,730 years.
because of natural selection.
rapidly.
