Question

assignment: reflect on the lab active revisit the hypothesis hypothesis: if the type of the food available changes, then the frequency of beak types will change, because birds with beaks more suited to the available food will be more successful over time. the data of this lab the hypothesis because there was a difference in bird beak distribution between generations 1 and 2. between generations 2 and 3. between generations 1 and 3. when fruit was removed. intro

Explanation:

The hypothesis states that a change in food type leads to a change in beak - type frequency. To support the hypothesis, we need to show a change in beak distribution due to food - related factors. When fruit was removed (a change in food availability), a difference in bird beak distribution would directly relate to the hypothesis. Differences between generations 1 - 2 or 2 - 3 or 1 - 3 could be due to other factors (like random variation over generations) rather than a direct response to food change. But a change when fruit was removed (a specific food - related event) strongly supports the hypothesis.

Answer:

The data of this lab supports the hypothesis because there was a difference in bird beak distribution when fruit was removed.
