Smaller teeth and jaws are due to genetic variation, which occurred by mutations (errors in DNA replication) and were selected to fill a suitable niche.
<h3>What is evolution?</h3>
Evolution is the mechanism of change of one species to adapt given environment, whereas mutations are the raw material for evolution.
In this regard, scientific evidence supports the fact that jaws evolved to become shorter in humans and thus adapt to a pastoral lifestyle.
In conclusion, smaller teeth and jaws emerged by mutations and were selected to fill a suitable niche.

1. Interphase: Chromosomes duplicate
2. Prophase: Chromosomes pair up
3. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up at equator
4. Anaphase: Chromatid sisters pulled apart
5. Telophase: Cells begin to divide
6. Cytokinesis: Two daughter cells are formed
Invertebrate, b/c it doesn't have a spine of any kind

1. breeding of individuals that have genes for two different characteristics:
DIHYBRID CROSS.
We call it a dihybrid cross when we are considering a cross between two different traits.
"di" means having two traits involved (for example, trait A and trait B), the "hybrid" means that each trait will have two different alleles (for gene A: A or a; for gene B: B or b), one is dominant and the other is recessive.
2. a grid system used to predict possible combinations of genes due to random fertilization: PUNNETT SQUARE
The Punnett square is a grid system that helps us predict an outcome of a cross or a breeding experiment. We this, we can determine the probability of an offspring having a particular genotype.
This is very useful when we are considering more than one gene, making it less confusing.
3. a condition in which both alleles are dominant: CODOMINANCE
Tere are alleles that have the capacity of dominating at the same time, and when an organism is heterozygotic, both alleles are expressed.
For example, a white chicken(WW) crossed with a black chicken (BB): 100% of the offspring being WB. With this genotype, they have black feathers and white feathers. It's not a blend of colors, but a case where both are expressing.
4. when more than two alternatives exist for a gene: MULTIPLE ALLELES
Mendel thought that only two possible alternatives could exist for a gene, but there are cases that have more than 3 possibilities. Some of those can be really popular in a population while others not so much.
This happens with rabbit's fur. They can be black, brown, grayish,
Himalayan patterning or white fur.
5.a condition in which neither pair of alleles is dominant or recessive, so the traits blend in the phenotype: INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE
Some alleles are not completely dominant, and when that's the case the phenotype of a heterozygous organism will be a mix between the phenotypes of its homozygous parents.
For example:
plant 1: RR -red
plant 2: rr-white
By crossing this plants we will obtain 100% of the offspring with a color mix: pink.(genotype: Rr)
Red and white are not completely dominating so it results in a blend of colors.
