Suppose a drought caused the local extinction of all insects, slugs, and clams. this allowed the drought resistant "deep stick bug ",which live 12cm underground to grow in population. using your knowledge of the steps of natural selection and beak variations used in this lab, explain how the change in the environment would affect the population of birds(at least 2 complete sentences)

Match the type of adaptation to the correct example, structural adaptation functional adaptation behavioral adaptation example type of adaptation elephants live in herds to protect their young leaves of a rain forest plant species have a pointed tip that enables rainwater to drain off easily. camels have nostrils that they can close snakes produce venom to kill prey and defend themselves. earthworms coil when touched, as part of a defense mechanism. human skin darkens with increased exposure to sunlight.

Examine the two squirrel populations in the accompanying figure. the populations are separated by a geographic barrier. if after a long period of time the two species are no longer separated, what evidence is needed to determine if speciation has occurred? the figure shows two populations of squirrels separated by a geographic barrier. examine the two squirrel populations in the accompanying figure. the populations are separated by a geographic barrier. if after a long period of time the two species are no longer separated, what evidence is needed to determine if speciation has occurred? the figure shows two populations of squirrels separated by a geographic barrier. polyploidy is creating new species. the two populations are not interbreeding freely. hybrid offspring of the two populations begin to appear. one species will increase into a population size twice as large as the other species.
