Answer:
The food type changes in a given environment, then the amount of each type of bird beak will changes as birds with beaks more suited to the available food will consume more successfully over time. The independent variable of the lab is the type of food that is available to the birds.
Answer:
Structures that are still present but currently serve little to no purpose
Explanation:
<em>Vestigial structures/organs are general defined as structures/organs that are present but poorly developed without any functional use in the present living organisms but thought to have been fully developed and functional in their ancestors.</em>
Fully developed and functional organs gradually become less developed and non-functional across generations as the environment keeps changing and organisms found lesser use for the organs. An example includes the <u>caudal vertebrae</u> found in man which is kind of useless but thought to have been fully developed and functional in the ancestors of man - the monkeys.
<u>Vestigial organs are often used as one of the morphological evidence of the evolution of living organisms.</u>
The consumers have a lot of choices for them to eat!
