A species of bird ate many types of seeds, each type coming from a different species of tree. The birds' beaks varied in size, with some individuals having slightly smaller
beaks and others having slightly larger beaks.
slightly smaller beak
slightly larger beak
A few years went by without much rain, and the only species of tree that survived had
large seeds. Many generations later, almost all the birds had the slightly larger beaks.
How is this best explained?

Competition occurs between species when

Two students are working together on an experiment that measures the effect of different liquid fertilizers on the thickness of plants’ stems. which is most likely to result in the greatest amount of error in their scientific experiment? a.one student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. the other student measures the widths of the same plant stems again by using a different pair of calipers. b.one student measures the plant stem widths by using calipers. the other student types the measurements as they are taken into a computer spreadsheet. c.one student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a calibrated scale. the other student weighs liquids for the experiment by using a different calibrated scale.

Aragonite shells of clams, snails, or scleractinian corals may be preserved unaltered in cenozoic deposits, but they are generally dissolved or recrystallized in older deposits. true or false
