The biggest difference between natural selection and genetic drift is
Natural selection only chooses positive traits and genetic drift randomly selects traits (good or bad)

The streamlined body of dolphins and sharks is best fit for the environment their in, despite not being related. This is an example of what type of evolution?
Convergent

Based upon the diagram below, which region would be least suited for a small ground finch? Explain why.
Region C, because it only has insects as a food source and small ground finches eat small seeds.
