4. Charles Darwin noticed that finches on different islands of
the Galápagos Islands were similar but that their beaks differed.
What explanation for these differences did he propose?
A The beaks of the finches are adapted to the way the bird
usually gets food.
B Specific genetic mutations occur that make beak size
change in response to random selection factors.
C The different beaks of the finches would one day evolve into
identical beaks.
D Beak size is related to the size of the finch.

C.
Natural selection occurs over so many generations, it is
impossible to see changes occur.
D.
Natural selection is a process that occurs randomly, and it
