The different species of finches on the galapagos island are believed to have arisen as a result of natural selection acting on populations of finches that had experienced?
Evolution
Why would a finch population that lives on an island have a higher rate of speciation that a finch population that lived in a large forest in north America?
A finch population on an island is more isolated than Êa finch population in a large forest. ÊThe gene pool of the island population would be more limited than the genetic possibilities of the finch population in the forest. ÊThe island finches would be more likely to pass on specialized genes than the forest finches. the island finches have more spatial isolation the island finches have more geographical isolation
Why would a finch population that lives on an island have a higher rate of speciation than an finch population on that lived in a large forest in north America?
Island finches are specially isolated whereas populations that live in large forests aren't. The island finches will have more gene flow.

How can an island hold a lot of finches?
A small island in Galapagos can hold a large number of finches due to absence of their natural predators .
Had different shaped shells depending on the island they were from?
The Galapagos Islands. Charles Darwin discovered that the birds on the island, finches, had different beaks. The finch's beak varies from each island to help the finch eat the food they can find on the island
How are the finches on galapagos island similar?
They're birds of the Galapagos Island
What did Darwin observe about the finches on the Galapagos's islands?
That the finches were similar to the ones on the mainland, but had adapted to the island environment.
How geometric isolalation of common ancestral species of finches has led to the development of 14 different species of finches in the galapagos island?
Geometric isolation of common ancestral species of finches has led to the development of 14 different species of finches in the Galapagos Island due to the concept of diversification.
What did Darwin wonder about the different finch he observed in his travels?
Darwin wondered if the finches on the Galapagos Islands were an ancester to the mainland finches. It turns out they were, one finch went to the island and its decsandants spead across the island. Geographic isolation caused the gene pools to become isolated and each population adapted to a particular habitat on the Galapagos Islands. Over time all the populations became genotypically different that they do not interbreed. Mating finches look for the beak shape.

Island finches are specially isolated whereas populations that live in large forests aren't. The island finches will have more gene flow.
