Question

A forest has many trees and bushes that produce nuts. This is a major food sources for many species, including a particular bird. Birds of this species have a variety of beak shapes ranging from long and pointy to short and hard beaks. The birds with short and hard beaks are able to eat the nuts better than the birds with long and pointy beaks. According to this scenario and the principles of natural selection what will happen to this bird population over time. Group of answer choices

Answer 1

There are four principles at work in evolution—variation, inheritance, selection and time. These are considered the components of the evolutionary mechanism of natural selection. After a while the birds will get old and their beaks will get weaker, eventually they will die, when there is a shortage of food they will start harming each other in order for it, that’s selection.
