Indicate which pattern of evolution is shown by the many species of finches on the Galápagos Islands.

Answer; Adaptive radiation ;
The pattern of evolution that is shown by many species of finches on the Galapagos Islands is Adaptive radiation.
**Explanation; **
Adaptive radiation is a pattern of evolution in which a single lineage undergoes multiple speciation events to fill divergent ecological niches. The result is a cluster of phenotypically distinct related species. A few million years ago, one species of finch migrated to the rocky Galapagos from mainland of Central or south America. From this one migrant species would come many species;- at least 13 species of finch, which exploit different niches, evolving from a single ancestor .

The many species of finches on the Galápagos Islands illustrate adaptive radiation, where a single ancestor evolves into various species to exploit different ecological niches. Charles Darwin noted these changes during his studies, linking them to natural selection influenced by available food sources. This process showcases evolution's versatility in response to environmental conditions.
