"in order to have reached this conclusion, the grants must have either assumed or proven that several other facts about the finch population were true. which statements represent information that must be true in order for the grants conclusion to be correct

Note:

Question is incomplete I have added the full question at the end of this answer.

All these below statements are in parallel with the research publication published in 2006 about darwin's work. Furthermore, Darwin proved that beak evolution occurred at Galapagos island.

Correct Options are

1. Beak size varies among the birds in the finch population under study.

2. Birds that could eat larger, tougher seeds survived and reproduced during the drought.

3. Beak size is an inherited trait in the finch population under study.

FULL QUESTION

"Population thinking" is essential to the idea of natural selection. Rather than thinking of populations or species as sets of mostly identical individuals, Darwin and Wallace understood that a great deal of heritable variation occurs among individuals within populations. Which example best illustrates this idea?

How did the drought lead to an increase in beak size in the medium ground finch population? The Grants reasoned that

prior to the drought, the finch population fed primarily on small seeds that they could open easily. Although larger, tougher seeds were available, they were not typically eaten, not even by finches with larger beaks.

during the drought, only a limited number of small seeds were produced, leaving mostly larger, tougher seeds available for food. Finches that were unable to eat the larger seeds died of starvation.

Based on their observations and the data they collected, the Grants concluded that evolution by natural selection had occurred in the medium ground finch population. The increase in the average beak size of the offspring was a direct result of the change in the food supply during the drought.

In order to have reached this conclusion, the Grants must have either assumed or proven that several other facts about the finch population were true. Which statements represent information that must be true in order for the Grants conclusion to be correct?

Select the three statements that must be true.

Select the three statements that must be true.

An individual finch's beak size can change depending on the size of the seeds it eats.

Beak size varies among the birds in the finch population under study.

Birds that could eat larger, tougher seeds survived and reproduced during the drought.

Beak size is an inherited trait in the finch population under study.

The drought caused a mutation that led to larger beak sizes in the finch population.

ionic bonds are two oppositely charged ions that attract. a sodium ion has a 1 positive charge; a chloride ion has a 1 negative charge. sodium and chloride have oppostive charged ions that attract which forms an ionic bond. a chemical bond formed when two atoms share electrons is called

correct answer: false

while planning water activities, it is very important to consider the weather, because if we do not plan and are going for a surf, then it might be that the hurricane came and drown us or may carry us to long distance from where we can not come back. there are many reasons to take information about the weather when we are planning any water activities.

hence, the correct answer would be false.
