Which of the following could be a valid explanation for the differences in mouthparts among insects?

• The insects each have different climates in which they live, requiring a different type of feeding method.

• The mouthparts have modifications that are adapted to the insect's method of feeding

• The mouthparts are varied so that there is not competition within a single species of insects

Due to natural selection, how will the population of male bulls change in this habitat over time?

• The population of Moose B and C will increase since they can compete for mates

• The population of Moose B will be extinct since they cannot compete with Moose C and D.

• Moose A will have a greater chance of survival since there are initially more than Moose B and D

• There will be an increase in the population of Moose D since those with larger antlers are better able to compete for mates
