- Q13Scientists compared the length of the beak of serveral birds from all over the world. They found out that the length of the beak is related to the temperature of the environment of the birds. Birds lose much warmth via their beak. Scientists state that birds with a larger beak have better chances to survive when the temperature in the environment increases. A sudden change in the genes of birds can result in offspring with larger beaks. How do we call such a change in genes? (1 p).Users enter free textType an Answer30s
