Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

Over generations of time apart on different islands with different food sources, the separated populations of Galapagos finches accumulated genetic differences until each group had different beaks. This is an example of ____

A	natural selection
B	genetic drift
C	adaptation
D	speciation

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Evolution: Evolution consists of changes in the heritable traits of a population of organisms as successive generations replace one another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Evolution is a process that results in changes in the genetic material of a population over time. Evolution reflects the adaptations of organisms to their changing environments and can result in altered genes, novel traits, and new species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Evolution is the process by which populations of organisms change over generations. Genetic variations underlie these changes.

Detailed explanation-4: -adaptation: Any heritable characteristic of an organism that improves its ability to survive and reproduce in its environment.
