A species of bird slight variation in its beak size and shape some individuals with bigger beaks are better at cracking seeds some individuals with narrow beaks are better at hunting for bugs an invasive species is introduced that hunts all of the bug population wiping out that food source for the birds so all they are left with is seeds in one or two sentences explain how genetic variation from sexual reproduction can save this species from extinction

Genetic variation from sexual reproduction can save this species from extinction by providing a range of beak sizes within the population; this means that individuals with larger beaks, which are better suited for cracking seeds, are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their traits to offspring and increasing the prevalence of seed-eating adaptations in the population.
