Darwin's finches which inhabit the Galapagos Islands, originally migrated from mainland South America The loss of plants producing medium-sized nuts on one island led to the evolution of finches with either small or large beaks and selected against finches with medium-sized beaks. What kind of selective pressure is in action here? O A directional selection B. genetic drift C. gene flow D. disruptive selection​

Respuesta :

Answer:

Darwin noticed that fruit-eating finches had parrot-like beaks, and that finches that ate insects had narrow, prying beaks Later, Darwin concluded that several birds from one species of finch had probably been blown by storm or otherwise separated to each of the islands from one island or from the mainland.

Explanation:

A
It is directional selection since there is a loss of medium sized nuts it allows more birds with small or large beaks to thrive
