The Atlantic puffin feeds on several different species of Atlantic fish. A population of puffins living on Matinucus Rock was found to feed primarily on the types of fish shown in the graph below. The beaks of this group of puffins are shaped to grasp species A particularly well because it is the main species of fish in the ocean around this island. Suppose a puffin in this population is born with a shorter beak that cannot effectively grasp Species A. Predict what would happen to this bird. Explain your reasoning based on what you know regarding genetic adaptations.

The population of the Atlantic puffin will decrease because of inability to obtain food.

What is mutation?

A mutation is an abnormal change that occurs in the sequence of nucleotides in a DNA molecules of an organism.

Assuming a mutation occurs in the beak of the Atlantic puffin that affects it ability to eat fish species A.

Since, species A is the most abundant fish species, the population of the Atlantic puffin will decrease because of inability to obtain food.
