Question

birds from the population
on the island where the birds live, most of the plants originally had large seeds. a
point, rabbits came to the island and ate many of the plants with large seeds. mos
plants that are left on the island have small seeds instead of large seeds.
order the statements below to describe the population before and after the environn
change.
earlier
birds with large beaks are more likely to survive and
reproduce than birds with small beaks.
the population of birds is in an environment with mostly
large seeds.
after many generations, most of the birds in the
population have small beaks.
birds with large beaks are less likely to survive and
reproduce than birds with small beaks.
after many generations, most of the birds in the
population have large beaks.
rabbits eat most of the plants with large seeds, so the
environment now has mostly small seeds.

Explanation:

• First, the birds are in an environment with large seeds.
• Then, birds with large beaks are more likely to survive and reproduce, leading to most birds having large beaks after generations.
• After rabbits eat large - seeded plants, the environment has small seeds.
• Now, birds with small beaks are more likely to survive and reproduce, resulting in most birds having small beaks after generations.

Answer:

1. The population of birds is in an environment with mostly large seeds.
2. Birds with large beaks are more likely to survive and reproduce than birds with small beaks.
3. After many generations, most of the birds in the population have large beaks.
4. Rabbits eat most of the plants with large seeds, so the environment now has mostly small seeds.
5. Birds with large beaks are less likely to survive and reproduce than birds with small beaks.
6. After many generations, most of the birds in the population have small beaks.
