2. Identify How did Darwin explain the similarities among finches in the Galápagos
Islands and in South America?

He said they all came from one ancestral species.

Explanation:

They all came from the same species but mutations due to their differing habitats changed them all slightly.

the answer is tropical areas. the tropical areas obtain more

radiant energy from the sun than they lose to space through terrestrial

radiation, and vice versa for polar areas. earth has an energy remaining in the

tropics and an energy scarcity for the polar areas.

explanation:

1) gene flow

- it is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-a zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) natural selection

- a mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) mutation

- permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of dna ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-the dna of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) genetic drift - it is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-a grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.
