Darwin's finches are often used to illustrate evolution. Evaluate the finch beaks shown in the picture. Choose ALL of the statem

ents that correctly explain the evolution of finch beaks.
A) As the environment changed, the finches grew longer beaks to allow them to get food out of fruits.

B) Finches with longer beaks settled on the same island with smaller beaked birds. Over time, they bred, producing medium beaked birds that became more common in the population.

C) There are finches with different types of beaks in the population. During a drought, those with shorter beaks are not able to find sufficient food and die, leaving them unable to reproduce and pass the trait on to offspring.

D) A random mutation introduced the shorter, thicker beak into the population. However, those with thinner, longer beaks were better able to get nectar from the island's flowers. Those birds with the shorter, thicker beaks were unable to get enough food to survive.

E) A disease swept through the island killing many of the insects that were common on the island, leaving the birds who ate insects from the ground starving. The finches that had thicker beaks and could get food from tree bark were able to continue to survive and reproduce, increasing this trait in the population.

Unequal reproductive success ______.Group of answer choicescan lead to a population being less well adapted to its environmentca
postnew [5]

Answer:

can lead to natural selection

Explanation:

<h2></h2><h2>Unequal reproductive success<em> _can lead to natural selection_____.</em></h2>

This is because if there is unequal reproductive success then one of the organisms is <em>better suited for reproducing, surviving, and passing down their genes to their offspring</em> rather than the organism who is unfit. This is where natural selection comes into play because natural selection is process where <em>i</em><u><em>ndividuals better suited for their environment produce more and have better survivality. </em></u>

So overtime, the organism which is weaker  (in sense of fitness) (here fitness relates to reproduction and survival), will not pass as many genes and won't survive, whereas, individual better suited will, hence in  a way "<u>Nature selected"</u><u> </u>the better fit organism.
