Question

A particular species of seabird has a mutation in the gene pool that gives it a bigger beak. Individuals with this mutation can more easily break open clams and other mollusks for food. They can also defend themselves better against predators. Over time, most of the organisms in the population have big beaks. What’s this an example of?​

Answer 1

This is a example of evolution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Natural selection

Step-by-step explanation:

Organisms with favorable traits (in this case big beaks) have a higher chance of survival than organisms with least favorable traits (small beaks). These organisms will survive, reproduce and and pass on their traits to the following generation, allowing for the organisms to adapt to their environment over time.
