Peter and Rosemary Grant conducted a 25 year study of the medium ground finch on Daphne Major Island in the Galapagos. They observed and recorded data that clearly showed a shift in the average population beak size to a shorter beak size being more prominent after periods of severe droughts occurring from 1976-1978 and again in
1981-1982. This example of the change in beak depth demonstrates -

Group of answer choices

directional natural selection.

that evolution occurs so slowly that it is not possible to determine if the change has happened in less than a million years.

the environment in the Galapagos Islands has always favored bigger and bigger beaks in the medium ground finch.

disruptive natural selection.

Which statements best describe the differences or similarities between a comparative investigation and an experimental investigation? check all that apply. experimental investigations are best for showing cause-and-effect relationships, while comparative investigations do not necessarily show this type of relationship. comparative investigations are often impractical and unrealistic, while experimental investigations are the most practical and realistic kinds of investigations. comparative investigations allow for the use of a wide range of variables but do not have a control group, while experimental investigations involve variables that can be controlled. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations are designed to answer scientific questions. both experimental investigations and comparative investigations focus on making observations rather than collecting new data.
