1. Describe what happened to each type of fork bird over time. In generation 1 the 2 tined started at 98 forkbirds and then in generation 5 the number of 2 tined forkbirds decreased and became 58 2 tined forkbird because the forkbirds that collected the most cheerios got to role the dice for the people that came in thrid and fourth place. In generation 1 the 4 tined forkbirds started with zero because everyone started with 2 tined forkbirds, and then in generation 5 the results increased to about 28 forkbirds and then in generation 10 it went up to about 47 forkbirds. In generation 1 the 1 tined forkbirds started with zero and then it increased in generation 5 and became 16 and in generation 10 it became 19 forkbirds.

2. Which fork bird was the most successful? Use your data to support your answer. The fork bird that was most successful is the 4 tined fork bird because it started off low and then it increased because as we rolled the dice and changed which kind of fork bird you use to eat the cheerios. In the graph above you can see that it will continue to increase the most and the 2 tined fork birds will decrease and the 1 tined fork bird is going to increase but will not be ahead.

// 3. Battling Beaks //simulates the idea of ** NATURAL SELECTION. **Based on what you did in class, your data and questions 1 and 2, what do you suppose natural selection? I think natural selection is the process by which biotic organism having traits that better enablethem to adapt to specific environments. For example when rolling the dice the forkbirds adapted every time they changed.

4.As a result of heavy rains, the major food source for fork birds is now blueberries. After many generations, how many types of fork birds do you think there will be? What will the fork birds look like? Explain your answer. I think the forkbirds will change to cupbirds, therefore it will be really easy for them to adapt to there environment and there will be even more generations of cupbirds then there was for forkbirds. they will eat there blueberries easily because they just scope it up with there bodies which are shaped as cups.

5. The cheetah, an extremely fast and efficient hunter, is an endangered species. The few cheetahs alive today show very little variation. How does this help to explain why cheetahs are on the verge of becoming extinct? Cheetahs are on the verge of becoming extinct because of were they live. They live in dry areas and they havent adapted to there way of life. =  =
