Question

Which bird was most successful in the first 500,000 years? Why do you think so?
What kinds of mutations were more beneficial? Why?
Which bird(s) was/were most successful after 1,000,000 years? Why were they more successful?
How similar or different were the birds after 1,000,000 years compared to the original bird characteristics you chose? Why did they change that way? (Think about the environments you created in the second part.)
Which characteristics do you think affect the overall survival of the bird? Why?
How does this activity simulate natural selection?

Answer 1

Answer:

Atchaeopterics

Explanation:

Arcaheoptarics bird which was found in early life. its connecting link between birds and reptiles. They have so amny characters like scales and fethers

Answer 2

Birds.

Explanation:

• Adzebill Bird was most successful in the first 500,000 years.
• The adzebills are about 80 cm in length and a weight of 18 kg.
• They are of the size of small moa having downward-curving and pointed bill.
• They have the strong legs.
• They are flightless birds with extremely reduced wings.
• They feed on lizards, tuataras, large invertebrates, and even small birds.

• Point mutations are less harmful or point mutation is more beneficial.
• A point mutation which is harmless is the blood disorder known as sickle cell anemia.  
• A single small change formed a normally round red blood cell inspite be sickle-shaped.

• Eastern Moa bird was most successful after 1,000,000 years
• The eastern moa, which is commonly known as Emeus crassus, is an extinct species of moa.
• Its average size, ranges from 1.5 to 1.8 metres tall.  
• Vestigial wing bones absent.
• A long neck and large legs.
• Its feet are wide making it a very slow creature.

• Today's generation bird have the features which were absent in the bird's after 1000,000 years. Today's birds are more adaptive to the environment as compared to previous generation bird.
• Their is change in the characteristics of the bird because birds adapt themselves according to the environment. Their shape and size changes according to environment.
• The bird survival is affected by enviorment and availabilty of food in a a place.

• This activity simulate natural selection because in natural selection only those characteristics can persist in an organism which is dominant . It is the survival of the fittest . Hence the features or traits which are not adapted to the environment perished away.
