HELP!!!!!!

Answer 1

A nectar-eating bird has a slightly more curved beak than average for its species. This allows the bird to more easily access nectar from plants. During the bird's lifetime, it loses a toe on its left foot due to an accident. It learns to compensate for this loss and is not greatly impacted. Which of this bird's traits could potentially spread through the species' future population?

Answer 2

Are there answer choices?

Answer 3

the slightly more curved beak because it is an acquired trait that would be beneficial to future offspring
the lack of a toe on the left foot because it is an acquired trait that would be beneficial to future offspring
the slightly more curved beak because it is a beneficial trait that is encoded in the bird's genes
the lack of a toe on the left foot because it is a beneficial trait that is encoded in the bird's genes

Answer 4

A seems like the more reasonable answer
