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 one sentence, explain how genetic variation from sexual reproduction can save this species from extinction.

The genetic variation from sexual reproduction allows for the potential development of individuals with beaks that are better suited for cracking seeds, ensuring the survival of the bird species.
