Hi I need the answer to this question please Thank you


2. Using the Galapagos finches as an example, answer the following questions:<br>I. Why are there only three species of finches on the mainland of South America<br>and up to 16 different species of finches on the Islands?<br>II. Describe the mechanism by which the original population of finches arrived on<br>the islands.<br>III. An original population of finches on Daphne Island is polymorphic when it comes<br>to beak sizes. (this population feeds on seeds of varying sizes from different<br>species of plants). At first the beak size variations and their main food source<br>were as follows:<br>Small beak/small seeds 25%<br>Medium beak/medium seeds 50%<br>Large beak / large 25%<br>a. Draw a graph of the original population and their beak size/percentage.<br>(Assume this is the original population with plenty of food sources for each).<br>b. A 10-year drought hit the island which kills the plants that produce both the<br>small seeds and the medium size seeds. Describe the allele frequency shift<br>and draw a graph to show the difference in the beak sizes at the end of the ten<br>years. Draw a graph representing your hypothesis.<br>What type of selection would this be?<br>c.<br>
