The Grand Canyon was carved out by the Colorado River several million years ago. This caused the separation of members of one sq

uirrel species. The Abert’s Squirrel lives on the southern side of the canyon and in other parts of the United States. A second species, the Kaibab Squirrel, has been found around the northern rim of the canyon and nowhere else in the country. According to the process of natural selection, we know that there must have been some genetic variation among the existing squirrel population, but how did that lead to the development of a second species?

Answer:

There was probably some sort of bring-over from a different area where the new squirrels lived before. Maybe the squirrels had to migrate. There are a lot of possibilities, but most likely some sort of reproduction adaptation.

Answer:

B-

Explanation:

There were both genetic variations and environmental variations. In each location, the genetic variations helped certain squirrels survive to reproduce. Those unique and differing traits were passed on. When the squirrels were separated, there was genetic variation within the population. In each group, some had traits that allowed them to survive and reproduce in their specific environment. Over time, each group evolved unique traits for their home location until one species evolved into two. (From usatestprep)

List three criteria thomas hunt morgan was looking for in a model organism for genetic studies
KonstantinChe [14]
A model organism is a species that has been widely studied to understand a particular biological phenomena, normally used because they are easy to breed and maintain in a laboratory setting and has certain experimental advantage.
The criteria that Thomas hunt Morgan was looking for include; the model organism should be small in size, easy to keep in the laboratory and also able to produce large number of off springs in a short time.

What are some examples of comparative anatomy as evidence of evolution?
velikii [3]
The easiest example is of Pentadactyl limbs. This is the 5 bone structure of the 'arm' of different animals being similar, contributing to the explanation of common ancestors. Animals that have this are whales, horses, dogs, cows, birds and even humans. We each share the same five bones in similar places but with some of them changed to suit certain functions ie birds are more spread to support flying, while humans are made for throwing, picking up and holding things.
