Question

The graph shows that eventually the small beaked finches found food and the population rebounded. Imagine a second scenario. Over time, there continued to be little or no food for the small beaked finches. Predict what could happen to the finch species on the island. (1 point) Responses The small beaked finch species would interbreed with other species on the island. The small beaked finch species would interbreed with other species on the island. Without an appropriate food source, the small beaked species could become extinct. Without an appropriate food source, the small beaked species could become extinct. The population of small beaked finches would remain small until food became available.

Answer 1

Without enough food, the population of small beaked finches would continue to decline. The finches would struggle to survive and reproduce, leading to a decrease in their numbers. If the lack of food persisted, the species could eventually become extinct on the island.
