Charles Darwin made some key observations that helped him formulate his hypothesis about how selective pressures from the environment might lead to adaptation and evolutionary change. Which of the following were some of his key observations? Select ALL that apply. Individual islands within the archipelago had their own unique, and sometimes unusual species that were well adapted to that particular island's environment. He saw 13 different types of finches that possessed beaks and diets very different to the common finch species present on mainland Ecuador. O Darwin stayed in the Galapagos Islands for many years, to directly observe how allele frequencies in different finch species changed in response to wet and dry seasons. O Different populations of giant tortoises whose shell shape and neck length helped them collect and consume specific leaves present on the different islands. He employed Mendell's Laws of Inheritance to track how genes were passed from generation-to-generation in iguana species.
