These four finch species lived together on an island. Each species ate something different: large seeds, small seeds, insects, and leaves.

there would be little change in the finch species.


C)

Answer 1

@Abhisar

Answer 2

What do you think it should be?

Answer 3

I think it is B

Answer 4

The change in food should compel the birds to change their diet, so it should be either B or D. I am not sure which one is correct doe.

Answer 5

@Abhisar I honestly think B is incorrect. If there is a change in food then there will be a \(big\) change...

Answer 6

Sorry, I mean B or C. @EclipsedStar , may be you are right cz I am more inclined towards C.

Answer 7

D is a possibility also, right? :/

Answer 8

Tea it would be a big change in the bird's diet, I say C or D cause what if they couldn't eat anything else.

Answer 9

I don't think they'll extinct. Because adaptation will come into play.

Answer 10

*yea*

Answer 11

I agree with that so it may come down to C

Answer 12

True, because the species could adapt to eating insects, etc...

Answer 13

I agree

Answer 14
