Answer:

The Grants's research shows that variation  within species increases the likelihood of the species' adapting to and surviving the environmental change.

Explanation:

The beaks of individual birds can change depending on what food is available.

Over time, individuals can evolve to better fit the environment by changing heritable traits.

Beak depth and length must affect survival and/or reproduction of birds.

 Beak depth and length must be heritable.

Beak depth and length must show variation among individuals of a single species.

A student argues that being separated geographically is the only way for speciation to occur. Why is he wrong?
Mashutka [201]
Causes of speciation
<span>Geographic isolation
In the fruit fly example, some fruit fly larvae were washed up on an island, and speciation started because populations were prevented from interbreeding by geographic isolation. Scientists think that geographic isolation is a common way for the process of speciation to begin: rivers change course, mountains rise, continents drift, organisms migrate, and what was once a continuous population is divided into two or more smaller populations.

</span>Reduction of gene flow
<span>However, speciation might also happen in a population with no specific extrinsic barrier to gene flow. Imagine a situation in which a population extends over a broad geographic range, and mating throughout the population is not random. Individuals in the far west would have zero chance of mating with individuals in the far eastern end of the range. So we have reduced gene flow, but not total isolation. This may or may not be sufficient to cause speciation. Speciation would probably also require different selective pressures at opposite ends of the range, which would alter gene frequencies in groups at different ends of the range so much that they would not be able to mate if they were reunited.</span>
