Imagine you are at the top of a mountain looking down. As you hike from the highest elevation to the lowest elevation, you find three different species of related mice. None of them are found at the same elevation, and the vegetation changes at each elevation level.

Using species C as a reference, you find that there are more genetic differences between species A and species C than between species A and species B. Which of the statements would best reflect the mode of speciation in these mice?

A. Only genetic drift is responsible for the differences observed.
B. Speciation was allopatric or peripatric, but would depend on the number of individuals that dispersed from the original population.
C. Species C arose from species A later than species B.

Ascientist is investigating the effects of salinity on fish development. he places fertilized fish eggs in an aquarium that contains low salinity and observes their development. what factor would improve experimental design the most? place the fish eggs in the open ocean because that is the natural habitat include another aquarium that has normal salinity to compare to the low salinity aquarium include an aquarium that replaces salt with sugar to confirm that the effects are specific to salt grow algae with the fish eggs in order to provide adequate nutrients to the developing embryos
