Yes, the lab procedure you studied should help you address the question: “What is the effect of the type of food available on the frequency of different types of bird beaks?” Here’s why:

Explanation

1. Purpose of the Lab Procedure
   The lab procedure likely involves observing or simulating how different bird beak types are used to access various food types. This could include testing how effectively different beak shapes can handle seeds, insects, or other food items.

2. Connection to the Question
   By varying the type of food available and recording which beak types are more successful at obtaining that food, you can see if certain beak types become more common or favored. This simulates natural selection where food availability influences beak frequency in a bird population.

3. Data Collection and Analysis
   The procedure probably guides you to collect data on feeding success or frequency of use for each beak type with different foods. Analyzing this data will show patterns-such as some beak types being more efficient with certain foods, which could lead to changes in their frequency over time.

4. Conclusion
   Therefore, the lab procedure provides a practical way to observe the relationship between food type and beak type frequency, helping you answer the lesson question effectively.
