Finches exhibit a remarkable variation in beak size and shape, which directly correlates with their dietary needs. This adaptation allows different species to exploit various food sources, such as seeds, insects, and nectar, reducing competition among them. For example, finches with larger, stronger beaks can crack tough seeds, while those with slender beaks can access smaller seeds or insects. This diversity enhances their survival and reproductive success in changing environmental conditions.

Suppose a variation makes an individual member of a species better adapted to its environment how might that variation affect the individuals reproduction?

If a variation makes an individual better adapted to its environment, it might increase the individual's chances of survival and reproduction. This individual may have more opportunities to find a mate, produce offspring, and pass on its beneficial traits to the next generation. Overall, the variation can lead to an increase in the frequency of the advantageous trait within the population over time.


How are finches in the Galapaagos Islands a good example of adaptation?

Finches developed many different adaptations. For example, one type of finch had a short strong beak meant for cracking seeds, while another had a long narrow beak for gathering food from the inside of flowers, and cacti, therefore making each species more adapted to its specific environment and more able to gather food then they would on another island with a different main food source.


Why sexual reproduction is an advantage to a population that lives in a rapidly changing environment?

Sexual reproduction makes use of meiosis, which has the unique property of introducing variation in the offspring by means of recombination. Asexual reproduction, which depends on mitosis, can only rely on mutations as a source of variation. Mutations, however, are rarer and more unpredictable than recombination and are not suited to rapidly create a new variation of the old strain that is specifically more adapted to the current environment.
