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)

The appropriate answer is d. a topographic maps. A topographic map shows the physical features of the earth's surface. A topographic map would therefore highlight features such as mountains, valleys, rivers and other landforms.
The height above sea level of these landforms are represented on the map by contour lines. These are lines on a map that show the height of the land. Colour is sometimes used to represent height if contours are not used.

2. Humans, just like all other living organisms, have evolved over time. Explain how scientists
natta225 [31]

Answer:

A. fossils of archaic humans show we have evolved through the differences in bone structure. Humans used to look a lot like chimps, and through fossils we can see differences in our skull shape and size, differences in the amount of body hair we had, and through vestigial bones like wisdom teeth, which we do not need anymore today. Wisdom teeth were likely used to chew raw meat, which we do not do anymore.

C. Chimpanzees are our closest living relatives on the planet, with 99% of our DNA being the same.

Sorry the first one is lengthy, I don't know how long it should be but I hope that helped

1. What is meant by allele frequency?
rewona [7]

Allele frequency

Explanation:

  • It is a comparative recurrence of an allele on a genetic locus in a population.
  • It is expressed in terms of percentage, decimal or fraction.
  • The variety of a species population genetics is given by Allele frequency.
  • It represents the incidence of a gene variant in a population.
  • It is calculated by dividing the number of times the allele of interest is observed in a population by the total number of copies of all the alleles at that particular genetic locus in the population.
  • Allele frequency is a reflection of genetic diversity.

Explain bow a fossil forms into sediment
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Fossil formation begins when an organism or part of an organism falls into soft sediment, such as mud. The organism or part then gets quickly buried by more sediment. As more and more sediment collects on top, the layer with the organism or part becomes compacted.
