Question 14 • Biology_B_IC_Alt

Darwin’s finches evolved on an island. What is the main reason that islands often provide good examples of evolution?

Answer
A
They have many niches.
B
They have many organisms that live on them.
C
They allow for automatic biogeographic isolation.
D
They allow for many variations to exist in species.

Explanation

Islands are surrounded by water, which often separates their populations from populations elsewhere. This geographic isolation limits interbreeding and lets populations adapt independently to local conditions over generations. Therefore, the best choice is “They allow for automatic biogeographic isolation.”
