A species of bird has slight variation 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 one to two sentences, explain how genetic variation from sexual reproduction can save this species from extinction

Genetic variation from sexual reproduction can save this species from extinction as it allows for the potential emergence of individuals with beak sizes that are better adapted for cracking seeds, ensuring the survival of the species even in the absence of bugs as a food source.
