Question

in the lab, you will change the number of birds with each beak phenotype for the second and third generations. what row of the data table will be the basis for computing new numbers? percentage of food eaten by the flock complete why is the percentage of food eaten a good number to use? explain. the percentage of food eaten is a good number because it indicates survival and reproductive success related to natural selection. the sentences below combine to form a strong explanation. check each sentence that resembles part of your response. a percentage compares the number of birds in the flock to the total number of birds in all flocks. if the percentage is high, the flock is more successful, so the flock should grow. if the percentage is low, the flock is struggling to eat, so the flock should shrink. i included of the above. done

Explanation:

The percentage of food eaten by the flock is a good metric as it reflects the birds' ability to obtain resources. A higher percentage implies better - adapted beak phenotypes for food - gathering, which is related to survival and reproduction in natural selection. High percentages mean more successful flocks likely to grow, while low percentages indicate struggling flocks likely to shrink.

Answer:

All of the above statements (A percentage compares the number of birds in the flock to the total number of birds in all flocks; If the percentage is high, the flock is more successful, so the flock should grow; If the percentage is low, the flock is struggling to eat, so the flock should shrink) contribute to explaining why the percentage of food eaten is a good number to use.
