Geographical isolation (vicariance)  is the main reason for the evolution of either side mouse into new species.

What is geographical isolation?

Two populations of the same species are geographically separated by a barrier, they will eventually become genetically distinct from one another. Even when they are exposed to the same kinds of environmental selection forces and are living in the same region, two populations of the same species can yet become genetically distinct from one another.

A new river cuts through a land mass, separating populations of mice on either side. these mice then evolve into new species on the two sides of the land mass, the separation of a group of organisms by a geographic barrier, resulting in the differentiation of the original group into new varieties or species.

Hence, vicariance is a kind of evolution caused by geographical isolation.

To learn more about the geographical isolation and vicariance the link is given below:

How can scientists determine the absolute age of a rock sample?
Roman55 [17]
Absolute Dating. The nuclear decay of radioactive isotopes is a process that behaves in a clock-like fashion and is thus a useful took for determining the absolute age of rocks. Radioactive decay is the process by which a "parent" isotope changes into a "Daughter" isotope.

Why do you think leaves have stomata on their underside only? Explain.
Alexandra [31]
The stomata must be open during the daylight hours to let oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through. While they are open, water vapor escapes into the atmosphere (transpiration). ... Transpiration is the loss of water through stomata, so, more stomata are found on the lower surface to prevent excessive loss of water.

In a lotus plant, stomata is found on the upper epidermis of the leaf.

Stomata are responsible for the exchange of gas with the surrounding atmosphere of the leaf. Their guard cells stay taut during the day to keep the stoma open.

Guard cells can only stay open if they are saturated with a certain quantity of water.

From this information we can infer that stomata are typically found on the lower epidermis to prevent water damage when it rains.

The rain would not only cover the openings, it would also ruin the osmotic balance of the guard cells causing inefficiency and damage to the cycle of gaseous exchange.

Natural selection probably selected against such plants giving rise to those with stomata on the underside.

How do biozones help scientists? Choose all that apply. A) The relative age of the rock can be determined by the types of fossil
podryga [215]

Answer:  C). A biozone can help trace the path of evolution over time.

Biozone is a stratigraphic unit which contains fossils in layers of strata existed in a particular geologic period.  It is named as biozone because it depicts the number of biological taxa existed in particular strata. Therefore, the variation in features within taxonomic groups in biozones can give indication of evolution with respect to time.
