Some individuals of a particular species of sea bird underwent a genetic mutation that resulted in larger beaks. The larger size

of beaks helped these birds to break open clams and other mollusks for food. It also helped them defend themselves against predators. After many generations, almost all of the birds in the population had big beaks. For which two reasons did this phenomenon occur?

Answer:

Its natural selection and survival of the fittest.

Explanation:

Variations occur due to sudden mutations. Some mutations might be harmful but some mutations may add advantageous feature to the species. Since large beaks helped those birds to break open clams, they survived better than the others. During the struggle for existence the one with better train survives and forms the future generations. This is called survival of the fittest. The one which is fit gets selected by the nature, a concept of natural selection proposed by Darwin.

Whats are the functions of the integumentary system ?
Verdich [7]

Answer:

Absorption

Thousands of pores on the surface of the skin can absorb vitamins, acids, water and oxygen in order to provide moisture and nourishment to our skin.

Excretion

The skin is the body’s largest waste removal system. Toxins are released through the sweat glands and pores.

Secretion

The skin secretes sebum, a mixture of oils that keeps the skin soft and supple. The layer of sebum on the outermost layer of the skin is known as the acid mantle. When intact the acid mantle has a PH that ranges from 4.5-5.5. The acid mantle is acidic in nature to protect the skin from outside invasion.

Regulation

The skin regulates the body’s temperature by sweating; when water from sweat on the skin evaporates it gives off heat and cools the body.  The body’s temperature increases or by shivering or getting goosebumps when the body is cold. The contraction of muscles releases energy that warms the body.

Sensation

The skin contains millions of nerve endings that transport stimuli. These nerve endings allow humans to detect sensation such as heat, cold, pain and pressure.
