Which explanation most likely accounts for the differences seen in the beak shape of the finches? The finches each had a different ancestor. Finches with larger beaks had richer diets than those with smaller beaks. The finches were selectively bred for their individual beak shapes. Differences in the diet of each species of finch led to adaptation of their beak
