The following section focuses on the finches of the Galápagos Islands. Read the information below and use it to answer the question below. Galápagos Islands The Galápagos Islands are home to a group of bird species known as Darwin’s finches. The diagram below shows eight of these finch species, organized according to the type of beak they have and their main source of food as adults. Darwin’s finches provide a classic example of the processes of evolution. Scientists have concluded that Darwin’s finches evolved from a South American ancestor. The Galápagos Islands are located approximately 1000 km west of South America. These islands were never connected to the South American mainland or to each other. Scientists think that a small number of birds from the ancestral species must have either gotten lost or been blown to the islands by a storm. This original population then evolved on the islands, where there are many different niches and food sources. Which of the following questions would a scientist most likely ask to determine whether various finch populations belong to one species? (1 point) Responses Do the various finches have similar average life spans? Do the various finches have similar average life spans? Do the various finches often eat the same types of food? Do the various finches often eat the same types of food? Do the various finches have a wide range of average body sizes? Do the various finches have a wide range of average body sizes? Do the various finches often mate and produce fertile offspring together? Do the various finches often mate and produce fertile offspring together?

Protists are organisms that are classified in their own kingdom. Protists are not plants or animals, yet some protists have characteristics similar to those of either plants or animals or both. A protist like the protozoan shown in the picture has similarities to both plants and animals. This protozoan is similar to animals because it has the ability to move from place to place while obtaining nutrients. This protozoan also shares a similarity with plants.
Which feature labeled on the protozoan is associated with organisms in the plant kingdom but not in other kingdoms except protists?(1 point)
