Checkup Practice Answers Variation: Bird Beak lengths range from 5cm to 15cm Inheritance: DNA codes for the bird’s beak length and is passed on to offspring. Population Limits: Food (fruit and seeds) which were influenced by the drought.
Environmental Selection: Birds with longer beaks (15 cm) were the most successful at getting food/surviving and then reproducing.
Make a graph that shows the bird’s beaks are similar but not identical to one another Mean (average) beak length Beak Length (cm)
Make a graph that shows how the average beak length increased over a few years
Calculate the average beak length in generation 1 and generation 4 Generation 1= 6(5cm)+8(10cm)+ 7(15 cm) / total individuals= Generation 4= 12 cm 10cm
