<em>A natural disaster. </em>

Explanation:

A natural disaster would most likely have occurred to have the population of squirrels completely diverge from each other in order for them to become two separate species.

If a tornado, flood, earthquake, or another type of a natural disaster were to happen, it may have caused drastic damage to the ecosystem and environment of the squirrels. This would most likely cause the squirrels to split up, or diverge from each other and go to separate places in search of a new home.

Over time, these squirrels will reproduce with their own group. Each new group of squirrels, as they are both in different environments now, will have different adaptations from each other. This will eventually make it so they will never be able to reproduce with each other again if they were to meet, as they are now completely different species of squirrel.

Why will many species of bird migrate to warmer climate during the winter
Doss [256]
Bird migrations began with the recession of the glaciers during the ice age. You will notice a great increase in insects in the spring time and early summer.The birds moved North to take advantage of this increase in the food supply that followed the warming in the spring and early summer. Their reproductive organs temporarily developed so they could lay eggs and raise a family. Look at the early flush of Night crawlers in the moist times of the early rains. By mid summer most of the insects have matured, mated and died. Their eggs have hatched and turned to larva and moved underground until next spring. The shortening of the days causes the reproductive functions to decrease and signals the birds that the food will soon become scarce. They move back to the area that makes it the easiest to find food and avoid freezing. which of course is the warmer climates nearer the equator. Not all birds move past the Tropics at approximately 30 degrees. Some like Chickadees may move down from Mi or Mn or Canada only as far south as Indiana. Some migrations may be quite short. For example from the mountains down to the plains. They don't generally reproduce in the warmer winter climes they migrate to. In the spring time they migrate along paths of the retreating glaciers. As the climate warms away from the tropics the birds follow the emerging insects etc to the birds selected breeding grounds.with increased insects and longer days to feed the hatching's. It is necesary to understand why they move to cooler climates in the summer to under stand why they move to eh warmer ones in the fall. As the days shorten the food supply dwindles and the babies have fledged. They move to warmer climates in winter to rest and refuel for the next years migration.

Which of these best describes genetic drift? A) The movement of alleles between population B) Random fluctuations in the gene fr
exis [7]
The correct answer is B.
Genetic drift is one of the four evolutionary mechanisms. It changes the frequency by chance, aka at random.
For example. if you have 100 frogs in the population, 20 red, 20 green and 60 yellow, not all of the alleles are going to be passed down to the next generation because a portion of the population can be affected by a random event such as the flood. So, if the flood accidentally kills 20 red frogs, none of the offspring are going to be red by chance.
