Ecologists have studied the galapagos islands for a long time because of the diversity of the populations they possess. it is thought that small colonies of finches emerged on each of these small islands, each small population carrying only certain alleles of the parent population. over time, the emerging populations varied greatly from one another, leading to the development of new species. which mechanism of speciation best describes this scenario?

The table below shows data for a population of fish in a pond. fish body color # of fins scales? tail shape a silver 4 yes fan b pink 4 yes flat c black 4 yes fan d orange 4 yes flat e orange 4 yes fan f silver 4 yes flat which of the above characteristics would be most in developing a classification system for the fish? a. body color and tail shape b. presence of scales and tail shape c. body color and number of fins d. number of fins and presence of scales
