Based on the data shown in the beak depth graph, what happened to the beak depth of finches born in 1978 compared to those born in 1976? Explain why you think this occurred.

In 1978 the beaks became larger because of the DNA in them that changed the sequence of genetics for those specific birds so the beaks grew larger in the population in 1978 opposed to the bird beaks in 1976

it has to be understood that the sea water contains a huge amount of sodium and chlorine ions and if they enter the cell of the atlantic cod fish, the cell will shrivel and the fish will die. to avoid such a condition, the fish uses active transport for the purpose of removing the ions against the gradient.

explanation:

the atlantic cod is not a maritime osmoconformer. its native application of salts is less than that of the seawater it lives in. it is continually falling water from the gills to the ocean via osmosis.

countering that, the fish is going to be swallowing seawater. but since its internal collection of salts is lower than seawater, the fish will want to go free of excess salt, and since that's going upon a gradient, then active transport, requiring energy, must be used to pump out the salt. much marine fish use the organs to filter out the salt and these fish discharge very straight urine.
