4.) During a period of droughts in the Mojave Desert, seeds that are small and easily eaten become more and more rare, leaving mostly seeds that are large with hard-cased shells behind. The only birds that can eat these particular seeds are those with LARGE BEAKS. If the drought continues for several more years, what should be expected to happen as a result of natural selection?
Small birds will gain larger beaks by exercising their mouths more.
More small-beaked birds will die than larger-beaked birds. The offspring produced in the following generations will have a higher percentage of birds with larger beaks.
Smaller birds will mutate their beak genes, resulting in the following generations having a higher percentage of birds with larger beaks.
Small birds will eat more to gain weight in preparation for the drought. As a result, they will grow larger beaks from eating more.
