DNA analysis shows that their DNA is almost identical with only minor changes.
DNA analysis shows that their DNA is almost identical with only minor changes.

Observation of all 15 species shows that they look incredibly similar, with minor changes to beak size and shape.
Observation of all 15 species shows that they look incredibly similar, with minor changes to beak size and shape.

These 15 species are found nowhere else in the world, and the islands are located close enough to the mainland for birds to migrate.

The correct response is: DNA analysis shows that their DNA is almost identical with only minor changes.

This indicates that the 15 species of finches share a common ancestor, as their genetic similarity supports the idea of descent with modification.

Responses

The species diversity on the islands is one of the largest in the world, allowing for many examples of evolution.

Most species found on the islands are only found in this geographic area, which allows researchers to easily isolate their studies.

The correct response is: The diversity in environments on each island provides many opportunities to study how related organisms have adapted over time.

The various environments on the Galápagos Islands allow researchers to observe and understand the processes of evolution and adaptation in response to different ecological niches.
