Large ground
Cactus
Large cactus
Sharp-beaked ground
Smal tree
Large tree

a. The sharp-beaked ground finch is more closely related to the small tree finch than
either species is to the cactus finch.
b. The warbler finch is the common ancestor to all the finch species that exist today in
the Galápagos Islands.
c. All the Galápagos finches are more closely related to one another than they are to
mainland finch species.
d. The 13 finch species evolved in sequence; the warbler finch is the oldest species and
the small ground finch is the most recent species to evolve

that’s a trick question

Explanation: if you could of shortend it maybe I’ll be able to an it

the answer to your question is b

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
