Stork is a waterbird with a long beak. most storks use their sharp, slender beaks to capture and dig up prey. their beaks also them crack open clam shells. a genetic mutation caused a few individuals to develop shorter, fatter beaks that aren’t as sharp. this mutation is likely a over time, natural selection will likely cause the occurrence of this trait to in the population.

for the first blank the choices are:
decrease
increase
remain the same

for the second blank the choices are:
beneficial mutation
harmful mutation
neutral mutation

Harmful Mutation, decrease

Explanation:

I think you may have got the choices for each blank backwards, but the answer for the first blank is harmful mutation, and the answer for the second blank is decrease.

a researcher conducts an experiment on the secretion of a particular hormone in mice. scientists inject mice with a substance that stimulates the production of the hormone. the scientists then test the levels of hormones produced by the mice. the tool used to measure the hormones consistently detects the levels at 10 points lower than the actual hormone levels in the mice. this tool makes measurements, but the measurements aren't .
