What most likely caused the finches on the Galapagos Islands to have beaks that were different from the finches on the mainland?
There were different types of predators on the island.
There were different types of food available on the island.
The finches had no water to drink.
The finches on the mainland could not fly high enough.
What do we call a change in a species over time?
Adaptation

Mechanism of evolution responsible for a random change in a population is known as:
Speciation
Selection
Genetic Drift

Situation in which allele frequencies change as aresult of the migration of small subgroup of a population is known as:
founder effect
genetic bottleneck
random mating
natural selection
In the Great Lakes region of North America, gray wolves and coyotes are similar species but do not mate because their breeding periods occur at different times of the year.
Geographic isolation
Behavioral isolation
Temporal isolation
The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) and Fowler's toad (Bufo fowleri) live in the same area. However, The American toad mates in early summer while Fowler’s mates in late summer.
Geographic isolation

Albert’s squirrel and the Kaibab squirrel are distinct subspecies that live on opposite sides of the Grand Canyon. They were once one species, but now differ significantly, including fur coloring.
Geographic isolation
Behavioral isolation
Temporal isolation
Starlings produce an average of five eggs. If there are more than five the parents cannot adequately feed the young. Fewer than five and predators may destroy them. As a result, five eggs becomes the most common number.
Stabilizing
Directional
Disruptive
Seed cracker birds have either large beaks or small beaks. They do not have medium sized beaks because medium sized beaks do not allow for adequate cracking of seeds.
