Geographical Isolation is the mechanism that might have led to the appearance of the Hawaiian honeycreeper.
Geographical Isolation is the term used that refers to a population of animals, plants, or other organisms that are separated and unable to exchange genetic materials with other organism of the same species.
Geographical Isolation may be a result of coincidence or accident.
Here are some factors of Geographical Isolation:
1) Isolation by barriers
2) Isolation by distance
3) Isolation after an Event
4) Isolation by separation
Equator area: closest to the sun and hot and humid due to the mass evaporation from the excess heat.
Mid equator/south pole: somewhat mild, colder, probably mid-humid, depending on which end of the midsection you're going for
South Pole: cold and dry. Cold because it's naturally far away from the sun (like the north pole) and dry because there isn't significant water evaporation here and any that may form crystallizes into snow and ice.
The method used above involves the determination and comparison of the genes of the three species of finches. So, the answer is
<span>(3) Obtain molecular evidence from all three species and identify similarities.
</span><span>The genetic makeup of the three species will show different similarities that can be used to relate the evolution of the different species.</span>
When talking about evolution, a good example is bacterial resistance to antibiotics.
We start with a bacteria colony, and in contact with antibiotics, most of them die.
Some of them in the colony do not die and took that antibiotic to create a mutation of its DNA to be resistance to that.
They evolved survive that antibiotic.
Answer: Correct options B, D and E.
Explanation:
In the cladogram, we can see that in the first branch we have a division, one branch goes to fish and the other goes to a division (a division means a common ancestor)
Then the fish are the most primitive (being directly related to the first ancestor)., E is true.
We also can see that between fish and birds we have 3 separations (the ancestor in common is 3 "generations" behind), and between frog and birds we have two separations (the common ancestor is 2 "generations" behind), so frogs are more closely related to birds than fish.
So D is also true.
We also can see that the only pair that has only one ancestor in common are birds and reptiles, so the ones that are most closely related are birds and reptiles. B is also true,
