36
Q

What is gene flow

A

42
Q

Q

What is an example of a nich

A

Different species of worker bird have a different nich it’s sprouts tree habitat by feeding in different area of the tree birds avoid companion with one another for food

48
Q

What are Darwin’s finches - divergent evolution

A

A group of about is species of passer one birds they are well known for there remarkable diversity in bean form and function this is known as natural selection but also a form of divergent evolution
