Answer 1

Hypothesis: If the type of food available changes, then the frequency of different types of bird beaks will also change, because natural selection will favor the birds with beaks that are best adapted to the available food source. Over time, the birds with the most suitable beak type for the available food will have a better chance of survival and reproduction, leading to an increase in the frequency of that beak type in the population.
