Answer:

Long beaks of medium ground finches allows them to opt for alternate sources of food in times of extremities while this is not the case with the cactus finches.

Explanation:

The medium ground finches have larger beaks and thus apart from small seeds they can also break open the large seed. In case if the small seeds get scarce, a medium ground finch can still survive by taking advantage of feeding on alternate source of food but small beaked birds such as cactus finches shall die out of starvation.

This adaptation of medium ground finches gives it a survival advantage over the cactus finches

Answer:

Large beak size of medium ground finch assists in aiding advantage to survival and reproduction as compared to cactus finch.

Explanation:

The medium ground finch will take the advantage of its peak size and structure over the cactus finch for both its survival and reproduction.  

Unlike the cactus finch, the medium finch have large beaks due to which they take advantage of alternate food sources such as large seeds, hard seeds etc.  

Beak size also plays an essential role in attracting males with large beak size and hence  medium ground finch reproduce easily and frequently as compared to cactus finch

How can mutations be helpful? Give 2 examples
RSB [31]
Having two copies of the mutated genes cause sickle cell anemia, but having just one copy does not, and can actually protect against malaria - an example of how mutations are sometimes beneficial. 

The majority of mutations have neither negative nor positive effects on the organism in which they occur. These mutations are called neutral mutations. Examples include silent point mutations. They are neutral because they do not change the amino acids in the proteins they encode.

Hope this helped :)

levacccp [35]
