PLEASE HELP ME I'M BEING TIMED I WILL DOUBLE THE POINT

All Hawaiian honeycreeper bird species have similar skeletal and muscle structures. However, each Hawaiian honeycreeper species has a bill specialized for eating certain foods. What would a scientist most likely conclude based on this observation? Artificial selection shaped the bill for eating certain foods. Increased genetic variation resulted in similar skeletal and muscle structure. Changes in each honeycreeper species occurred independently, but resulted in similar traits. Honeycreepers arose from a single species that migrated to Hawaii and adapted to different niches over time.

Answer 1

The correct answer is - Honeycreepers arose from a single species that migrated to Hawaii and adapted to different niches over time.

Step-by-step explanation:

All Hawaiian honeycreeper bird species share similar muscle and skeletal structures. This suggests that all Hawaiian bird species arose from a common ancestor and evolved due to different environmental conditions such as eating particular foods for particular species.

It is believed to be a single species of honeycreeper who migrated from the mainland to Hawaiin island and adapted to different niches over time by the process known as natural selection.
