Answer:

C) They adapted to the type of food available.

Explanation:

The beak sizes and shapes of Darwin's fiches are different because of survival of the fittest. The finches that had beaks that could get the food survived while the other died off. Thus, the number of those survived finches increased while the others decreased. The type of food available in each environment is different from the other, which is why they have different sizes and shapes.

Hey there! Darwin's finches had different beak sizes and shapes because of natural selection. Over time, the more desirable traits become more dominant and distinct. These beaks were best fit for the type of food the bird ate. Smaller-beaked birds usually have a seed diet, and larger-beaked birds usually eat large nuts or small creatures like worms and bugs. Hope this helps!

A. Measles generates a weak immune response that allows reinfection of hosts, and therefore does not easily evolve escape varian

Doss [256]

The correct answers are:

b. Human influenza a virus evolves escape variants, resulting in a distinctive cactus-shaped phylogeny.

All types of Human influenza viruses evolve to escape immunity induced by prior infections and vaccinations.

c. Measles experiences strong selection for escape variants, resulting in a phylogeny similar to a nonpathogenic species.

As a result of measles infection, specific antibody and CD4 and CD8 T cell responses are generated and contribute to virus clearance and protection from reinfection.
