13 22 possible points:_____________________________________________________ Conclusion Questions: 1. Look at the different types of prey that each beak type caught, which beak type on your data table was the best overall beak to have and why? Use data from your lab to support your answer. 2. During the lab experience, what variations did you see occur in your family? (Did parents change the way they gathered prey? Did they try a different technique? Did they start to go after a particular type of prey?) Explain how this relates to Natural Selection. 3. Were these variations (mutations) advantageous or disadvantageous? Why or why not? Be specific in your explanation-dont just write we got more/or less food. Explain how this relates to Natural Selection. 4. Based on the pictures you found for the beak types and prey, predict which of the pictured prey each bird would hunt for and why. Use data from you lab to support your answer.
