2 years...After a huge drought, the bigger beaked finches lived and the smaller ones died. So two years later finches har beaks that were kind of bigger.

Must population of finches be separated in order to evolve into different species?

Why is population the smallest unit of organism that can evolve?

Evolution is defined as a change in allele frequencies over time. Since individuals have only the set of alleles that they're born with, an individual cannot evolve. This leaves the population as the smallest unit that can evolve.


What caused the greatest increase in diversity of life during the course of evolution?

the main factor for the increase of diversity is the environment. in many areas of the world the environment changes rapidly, and because of this animals have to adapt quickly, sometimes change in behaviour. so many animals evolve into something new that will benefit them more in that environment, take finches for example (theory of Charles Darwin), many finches evolved to have different beaks to suit the food they were provided with in the area (Galapagos islands). in some cases animals permanently move from their normal habitat to a new one where the environment is more suitable for them. and that's why there is a diversity in animals.


What level does bagon evolve if you dont let him evolve at the first time?

If you don't let Bagon evolve the first time, then every time it levels up it will start evolving again. Then if you don't let it evolve again then the next time it gains a level then it will evolve again. It will keep evolving as it gains levels inless You give it an everstone. Hope that helped :) ~Gracygoo


Why is Charles Darwin a significant person?

Charles Darwin is most famous for having postulated the framework for modern theory of evolution. His theory successfully united specific observations (such as his famous observations regarding finches) and other suggestions about evolution, such as those of Lamarck. His work, written in the volumes of The Origin of Species, is one of the most significant factors in modern biology, as he suggested and researched the previously (for the most part) unaccepted notion that organisms change and evolve over time, becoming discernibly different organisms.

Why cant finches evolve into ducks or eagles?

Because they're finches.. Can you de-evolve into a gorilla? Didnt think so.


Why did the finches evolve different beakes?

for eating different kinds of food


Explain how Darwins finches illustrate the principle of character displacement?

Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands show character displacement by developing different beak shapes and sizes to minimize competition for food resources. When multiple species of finches coexist on the same island, they evolve distinct characteristics to utilize different food sources, reducing competition and promoting coexistence. This adaptation demonstrates how natural selection can favor traits that differentiate species in response to resource availability.


What did Charle Darwin compare on the bird and what caused the difference?

He didn't do the study of the Galapagos Finches. The people who studied these birds were biologist Peter Grant and Rosemary Grant. They looked at beak size and shape. The finches are commonly called Darwin's finches, however, they really were not studied by him. They used to finches to study Darwin's Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. In order for NS to occur there must be variation in a population, variations must be heritable, the species must be reproductively successful, and the survival and reproduction of an individual must be nonrandom. The Grants came up with 4 postulates based on the NS model. 1. Is the finch population variable? 2. Is some off the variation among individuals heritable? 3.Do individuals vary in their reproductive success? 4. Are survival and reproduction nonrandom? The overall conclusion that they made was that: when all four of Darwin's postulates are true in a population, the population will evolve; and that evolution an occur over a short period of time.

Does an individual a population or a species evolve?

A species evolves over time through the process of natural selection acting on individuals within a population. Individuals themselves do not evolve, as evolution refers to changes in the genetic composition of a population over generations.


What is the smallest biological unit that can evolve over time?

The smallest biological unit that can evolve over time is a population. Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of a population over generations. Individuals do not evolve, but rather the frequency of traits within a population changes over time.

Evolution is defined as a change in allele frequencies over time. Since individuals have only the set of alleles that they're born with, an individual cannot evolve. This leaves the population as the smallest unit that can evolve.

Is a population. Consider the definition of evolution.Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms.


What environmental variable caused the beaks in Galapagos finches to evolve?

Changes in the weather led to changes in the food supply available. Sometimes there would be hard nuts, and the finches with tough beaks would survive. However, if, on that same island, the weather changed and longer beaks would be advantageous, the tough-beaked finches would die out and slender beaks would dominate. This is proven by the extensive research carried out by Peter and Rosemary Grant from 1973 to the present.


Will cats continue to evolve?

Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. So, cats will continue to evolve. Organisms evolve, or go extinct. Speciation is another thing.
