BIO/101 – Evolution Lab
In the first lab experiment I did, I doubled the island size of “Darwin” from 0.5 km to 1.0 km. I started with “Wallace” having doubled the population at 200 finches. I increased the clutch size from 10 to 12 eggs on “Darwin.”

In this second lab I only changed one variable over 300 years to see what the results would be. I changed the beak size from 12mm to 22mm for the “Darwin Island” finch.
