A particular species of seabird has a mutation in the gene pool that gives it a bigger beak. Individuals with this mutation can more easily break open clams and other mollusks for food. They can also defend themselves better against predators. Over time, most of the organisms in the population have big beaks. What’s this an example of? A. homeostasis B. low genetic variation C. natural selection D. neutral mutation

C, natural selection

Explanation:

Mark brainliest please.

we solve the problem using the hardy-wineberg equation.

let us start with the homozygous recessive proportion of individuals with sickle cell anaemia,

we have the proportion as q² = 0.25.

∴ q = 0.5 (frequency of hbs in population)

further,

solving for the frequency of normal cell by using the fact that,

p + q = 1

∴ p = 1 - 0.5 = 1 - 0.5 = 0.5

now we can calculate 2pq in p² + 2pq + q², which is the frequency for heterozygous carriers of sickle cell anaemia,

∴ 2pq = 2 x 0.5 x 0.5 = 0.5

and the homozygous normal cell individuals proportion is given by the expression,

∴ p² = 0.5² = 0.25

hence, the carriers for sickle cell anaemia are in proportion, 0.5, or 50%.
