Answer:

the population is polymorphic.

Explanation:

Polymorphism is the discontinuous genetic variation that leads to the production of varying unique kinds or forms of individuals within the population of an individual species.

Take for instance, allelic polymorphism is seen in the presence of multiple alleles that is produced within the members of an individual species as in peppered moths, human blood groups, and two-spotted ladybugs.

We have different causes of polymorphism: polymorphism can be sustained by an equity among variation developed by new mutations and natural selection. Genetic variation might be due to frequency-dependent selection.

One of the major elements of natural selection is that all species have genetic variation. Natural selection is a process when organisms adapt better to their environment. It is an essential key in evolution. There is a change in phenotype of a population over time.

How many chromosomes, and which chromosomes, does each of the dughter cells contain
labwork [276]

The question is incomplete. However, if we consider this cell as human cell - the cell contain 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Answer:

Chromosomes consists of the constricted DNA associated with the proteins. Different species has different chromosome number. Two main types of chromosomes are heterochromatin and euchromatin.

The human cells contain the 23 pairs of chromosomes or 46 chromosome. If the cell divides by the process of mitosis than the chromosome number will be same in parent as well as the daughter cell. The daughter cell 23 pairs of chromosomes. If the cell divides by the process of mitosis the cell has 23 chromosome number as the meiosis reduces the chromosome number upto half.

How does variation of beak type affect a birds ability to survive?
Blababa [14]
The variation in beak type enables the different individuals in a population to feed on different food sources.

The shape of the beak is key to determining the primary food source of the bird. Certain birds species have specialized beaks, but within populations of those species, there is a variation in beak shape.
This gives the population the ability to respond to changes in the environment and availability of different food sources.
For example, if because of a dry period there is a shortage of fruit, some individuals in the population have the beaks that enable them to feed on other things, survive and leave offspring.
