Which type of speciation occurred among the galapagos islands finches?

a: allopatric speciation

b: sympatric speciation

The correct answer is- A: allopatric speciation.

Allopatric speciation can be described as formation of new species due to geographical isolation of a population.

Darwin studied various species of finches on isolated galapagos islands.

They developed different adaptations (in the form of different beak shapes) due to different food availablilty.

Thus, in due course of time, different species evolved from common ancestor. This represented allopatric speciation.

Thus, option A) is the right answer.

it has one origin of replication, but it proceeds in two directions - d)

stress fractures occur largely in the feet and legs and are common in sports that require repetitive impact, primarily running/jumping sports such as gymnastics or track and field.
