What are the 13 different species of finches?
There are so many species of finch--and of many other members of the animal kingdom--because of something called natural selection. Natural selection comes about because of hereditary variations within a population, organisms producing more offspring than can survive, and because these offspring vary in their ability to in turn produce offspring and survive. For example, let's say there was a population of white-coated rabbits living in a woodland habitat. A particular mating between two white rabbits resulted in many white-coated offspring, but a few brown-coated offspring as well. (This is an example of hereditary variation.) Of all the offspring, many die because there are more than can survive, but those that die in greater numbers are white, not brown. This is because a white-coated rabbit is not suited to its habitat; its coat stands out to predators against the brown tones of the woodland. The brown rabbits, however, blend in (called camouflage) and so are not noticed as readily by predators. These rabbits will survive much better than their white siblings, and will go on to produce offspring of their own. Eventually, all or nearly all the white rabbits will be wiped out because their physical traits do not suit their habitat. All that will remain are the brown rabbits and their offspring. Each generation of brown rabbits will pass on their advantageous brown coats to the next... It's rather fascinating. To me, it's a miracle of nature that such hereditary variations occur at all. It's as though nature knows it needs to make changes in its populations and so it does!

What is behavioural adaptations of the white tiger
What is the measure of the ability to survive and produce more offspring relative to other members of the population?
It is adaption because you need to adapt to certain areas SO your offspring's can survive its the same as in if all of a sudden the world was cove rd in snow and there were 1000,0000 white rabbits and 20000.00000000 black rabbits the black rabbit population would decrees because the rabbits need to adapt to the environment to protect it self from predator's.
