Answer:

The snake population would increase the genetic variations to fill the available empty ecological niches in the new habitat.

Explanation:

According to the given information, the new habitat of the snake population has a variety of prey species and a few predators. This would make the snake population adapt themselves to feed on the various prey species to avoid any competition.

Progeny of snake population would adapt themselves in different directions to feed on various species of available rodents. The availability of empty ecological niches (various rodent species here) leads to adaptive radiation in the parent population. The progeny of the parent population exhibits divergent evolution and become adapted to feed on different rodent species.

How does the digestive work
mamaluj [8]
Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. ...Digestive juices contain enzymes that break food down into different nutrients.
