Question

Scientific investigations often lead to the formulation of new scientific questions. The observations Charles Darwin's work after
he returned home from his voyage prompted him to ask which question?
-Do living things change over time, and if so, how?
-Are the Galapagos finches and those on the mainland the same species?
-Are pigeons related to the Galapagos finches?
-can selective breeding in nature lead to a new species over time?
*the answer isn’t A**

Answer 1

-Are the Galapagos finches and those on the mainland the same species?

Explanation:

• When Darwin visited the Galapagos islands he observed that the small flocks of finches that existed there were very similar to the finches that existed in the mainland of South America except for their beak shape and feeding habits.
• This prompted him to ask the question that 'Are the Galapagos finches and mainland finches the same species?'
• Later on studies made it evident that a few groups of mainland finches migrated to the Galapagos island and occupied different niches.
• They adjusted themselves to the island environment and evolved with new adaptations in beak structure and feeding habits.
• They are now classified into 14 groups out of which 13 exist in the Galapagos island.
• The Galapagos finches are divided into three groups: the ground finches, tree finches and Warbler finches.
