In an ecosystem where most flowers are long and bell shaped, there are two varieties hummingbirds birds, with short, beaks and birds with long beaks. What is the most likely hummingbird population composition
A. Only short beaked hummingbirds.
B. More short beaked hummingbirds
C. Only long beaked hummingbirds
D. more long beaked hummingbirds .
The most likely hummingbird population composition in an ecosystem where most flowers are long and bell shaped would be option D: more long-beaked hummingbirds. This is because the long beaks of these hummingbirds would be better suited for extracting nectar from the long and bell-shaped flowers, providing them with a competitive advantage over the short-beaked hummingbirds. Over time, natural selection would favor the long-beaked hummingbirds, leading to an increase in their population relative to the short-beaked hummingbirds.
