Can you guys help me?

1. One of the basic conditions for natural selection to occur is that there must be variability within a species. What variability was present in the population of utensil birds?

2. Before the terrible drought, which beak types gathered the most food items?

3. After the terrible drought, which beak type was most successful?

4. Over time, if drought conditions continue, what would you expect to happen to the number of birds with each of the 4 types of beaks in the population? Be specific as to which ones might increase, decrease, or stay the same.

5. As the individuals of the species change over time, the whole species may begin to look very ddifferent. If these birds become isolated from other populations, it may even become a completely different species. What is the name of this process called?

6. In this experiment, why did we do four trials for each type of food instead of just one?

7. Why did we focus on the class average data instead of the individual group averages?

8. Did your group get trivial or significant differences between your trials for the spoon beak? What most likely caused these differences?

Here my graphs; by the way don't worry about the forks! because my group dind't have any.

Respuesta :

Based on natural selection and the data provided, it was observed that birds with the spoon beak type were most successful in obtaining food both before and after the drought.

What is natural selection?

Natural selection is the process by which organisms that are better suited for survival in an environment are selected to survive and reproduce.

Natural selection depends on variation among species.

Considering the table:

1. There was variation in the beak type of the birds.

2. Before the drought, the toothpick beak type and spoon beak type gathered the most most food.

3. After the terrible drought, the spoon beak type was most successful.

4. If the drought conditions continues;

  • The toothpick beak type will decrease
  • The spoon beak type will stay the same
  • the fork beak type will decrease
  • the knife beak type will decrease

5. The process by which If the birds become isolated from other populations they become a completely different species is called evolution.

6. Having repeated trials helps the reduce the possibility of chance occurrence in the results obtained.

7. The class average data will give a truer picture of the effects of drought on bird feeding because of the larger number of sample.

Also, it will help to eliminate individual group errors and identify outliers.

8. There were no significant differences between your trials for the spoon beak.
