= **1. Describe what happened to each type of fork bird over time.** = What i have observed from the fork birds is that when the number of tined in the fork birds increased the amount of cheerios that were eaten. For example the 4-tined could hold up to 5 cheerios for each time you ate, while the 1-tined for bird could only hold 2 cheerios per turn.

= ** 2. Which fork bird was the most successful? Use your data to support your answer. ** = In my case the most successful fork bird was the one that had 2-tined. I was in first place with 117 cheerios. I only had the chance to use the 2-tined fork bird because i was always in first or second place. I could also observe that my table mites had more success with the 4-tined for bird since it had the power to hold more cheerios.

= //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? = Based on the experiment we just did in class and the data i have collected, I think that natural selection means something that happens naturally while an organism is adapting to the new environment or new type of life. = = = = = **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 that there will be less types of fork birds since some of them are more likely to die. This is more likely to happen because it will take some time for their organisms to adapt to this new food. Based on my imagination I think that the fork birds will even have a blueish color; a result of the blueberries. I also think that these generations of fork birds will be more healthy then ever because they will be eating healthy.===== = = = = = 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? = I think that the cheetah are an endangered specie because they are still not adapt to their new environment and even though they are very fast hunters maybe they don't have the same food they are used to, so I'm assuming most of the cheetah die because their organisms couldn't get used to their new environment or food.
