5. Over millions of years of time, an island’s vegetation shifts. The seed-producing plants that dominated the early origins of the island die out in favor of new species of plants that do not produce seeds but provide a good habitat for insects. How is this change likely to affect a species of birds that uses seeds as its primary source of food and insects as a secondary food source?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A. the species will maintain its heritable traits while learning to make insects their primary food source B. the species will decline and become endangered because its adaptations have reduced utility C. the species will split into two: one adapted to eating seeds and a second adapted to eating insects D. over time, a shift in traits will be observed as the species adapts to an insect diet

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

well birds would basically fight for insects since its the only source of food ( this is my guess)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

pretty sure it is D

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

id say A. :1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh :o

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@tmak11 what do you say

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Yes, A bcuzz they'll have to adapt and learn to get the food they need

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

No, actually, it could be D

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

because well say all we could eat was fruits and vegtables but somehow fruits die, wed tries to make vegetabe our primary since its the only thing we could eat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, i agree

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

well d and a are similar.....

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

They r... but in D, it's saying that they make a complete change

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

both say they would adapt to insects

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

yeah your right D is the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ikr its just one is a diet and the other is primary food source

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

In A it says that they will keep the same traits, but they will adapt to the new food

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Yes I'll say D too

OpenStudy (znappydooz):

Good Luck! ;)

OpenStudy (leonardo0430):

true frosty pick d it sounds more right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay whatever ill argue the question if its wrong lol
