Bot, a species of bird has slight variations in its beak size and shape. Some individuals with bigger beaks are better at cracking seeds. Some individuals with narrower beaks are better at hunting for bugs. An invasive species is introduced that hunts all of the bug population, wiping out that food source for the birds, so all they are left with is seeds. In two sentences, explain how genetic variation from sexual reproduction can save this species from extinction. Please make sure your answer stays on topic.

Thual reproduction, the bird population can produce offspring with a diverse range of beak sizes and shapes, allowing some individuals to be better equipped to crack seeds in the absence of bugs. This genetic variation gives the species a better chance at adapting to changes in their environment and surviving the loss of their primary food source.
