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 did Mendel's<br> experiments provide evidence for the principle of<br> independent assortment?
Mrac [35]

Answer and Explanation

Mendel selected a group of dwarf plants and sel pollinated them by dusting mature pollen grains onto them. He then collected the resulting seeds and planted them and noticed these seeds germinated and grew into dwarf plants only.

He also selected tall plants and self-pollinated them. the resulting seeds he observed that they grew into a micture of tall and dwarf plants. He took the seeds of tall plants only and repeated the experiments for many generations until he obtained only tall plants.

He then crossed cross-pollinated purebreeds tall garden pea with pure breed variety. He planted the seeds and observed the offsprings were all tall plants. He crossed two of these tall offsprinf from the F1 and planted the resulting seeds. the second filial generation consisted of a mixture of tall and dwarf plants.

He counted these plants and noted that the ratio of tall to dwarf was about 3:1. From this, he postulated that there are now laws governing inheritance.The law of independent assortment and law of segregation.
