Analysis and Conclusion:
As seen in Graph #1 Tweezers was the most successful, Scissors was 2nd, Toothpick was 3rd, and Clothespin was 4th. At the end of the First Generation, Tweezers had 7 offspring, Scissors had 3, Toothpick had 3, and Clothespin had 1. At the end of the Second Generation, Tweezers had 13 offspring, Scissors had 7, Toothpick had 5, and Clothespin had 2. At the end of the Third Generation, Tweezers had 19 offspring, Scissors had 10, Toothpick had 8, and Clothespin had 3. As seen in Graph #2 Tweezers was the most successful yet again. But the other three beaks had much different outcomes. Tweezers was the most successful, Clothespin was 2nd, Toothpick was 3rd, and Scissors was 4th. At the end of the First Generation, Tweezers had 12 offspring, Clothespin had 7, Toothpick had 10, and Scissors had 9. At …show more content…
The Scissors got 2nd and 4th. The Clothespin got 2nd and 4th as well. The Toothpick got 3rd and 3rd. The difference between the two trials was mainly based off of the food available. The Tweezers were consistently the best. The clothespin had a hard time picking up the paperclips in the first trial. When different food types were introduced, in trial two, the clothespin seemed to have an advantage. The opposite seemed to happen with the Scissors. The scissors got 2nd in the trial with only paperclips. In the 2nd trial, it struggled to pick up the other objects and got passed up by the other beaks (1).
The best beak types are based off of adaptations. An adaptation is an inherited trait that enhances an organism’s ability to survive and, more importantly, to produce offspring. The beak types that could get the most food and produce the most offspring are the desired trait. This trait will be passed on to the offspring of the trait carrier. This will make the trait more prevalent in future generations and thus, make the un-desired beaks fade. The un-desired beak types would struggle to get food and begin to die off.
