speciation is the answer beacuse Genetic mutation is the basis of species diversity among beetles, or any other organism. Mutations are changes in the genetic sequence, and they are a main cause of diversity among organisms. These changes occur at many different levels, and they can have widely differing consequences.
A pedigree is like a lineage or a recorded ancestry. For example, if a dog has recorded breeding papers it would show you it's pedigree. I hope that helped! :)
