16) Base your answer on the information below and on your knowledge of biology
The Galapagos pink land iguana, Conolophus marthae (C. marthaes, is native to
only one of the Galapagos Islands. its entire range is currently limited to Wolf
Volcano on Isabella Island. The iguana was first discovered this island in 1986
Genetic studies of the animal began sometime later, and it was identified as a
species separate from other guana populations on the Galapagos in 2009. Its
population might have been as high as 100 in 1986, but now there might be as few
as 10 of the animals left alive
Other evidence indicates at this species could have diverged from another line
of iguanas about 5.7 million years ago. After that the other line of iguanas diverged
into two other species. Cpallidus and C subcristatus
