Question

 

 

Based on (MS-LS4-4) standard(grade8) - Mathematical Representations of Natural Selection:

Most scientists think that a small group of finches colonized the Galápagos Islands thousands of years ago. They would have been the only seed-eating birds on the islands. Suppose one island was very dry and another had plentiful rainfall. 

 

Q)How would the finch populations on these islands change over time? 
Reference to the evidence from data (pictures of Data Set C - Galapagos Islands Finch - 25cm Average Rainfall and Data Set C - Galapagos Islands Finches - Rainfall Effect are attached) and reasoning to support your claim to support your claim. Kindly use also examples outside of the prompt and vocabulary for explanation.
