Which inference is the most likely explanation for the universal properties of the genetic code?
O A. Other, less useful, versions of the genetic code were eliminated gradually throughout the course of evolution
OB. The genetic code evolved very early in the history of life, and it was used by an ancient ancestor of all or nearly all living things
O
C. The genetic code evolved relatively recently in bacteria and then it quickly spread to all living things in all evolutionary lineages.
OD. The genetic code evolved early in the history of animal evolution, and then it quickly spread to all other living things in other
evolutionary lineages.

B

Explanation:

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
