  1. Hawaiian
  2. British
  3. Mexican

Grade 10 Evolution
A single species of squirrel evolved over time into two species, each on opposite sides of the Grand Canyon. This change was most likely due to
  1. higher mutation rates on one side of the canyon.
  2. low genetic diversity in the initial population.
  3. the geographic isolation of the two groups.
  4. differences in reproductive rates.

  1. a cline.
  2. a bottleneck.
  3. relative fitness.
  4. genetic drift.
  5. geographic variation.

Grade 10 Evolution
Which population is most likely to exhibit an evolutionary response to a change in its environment?
  1. a population in which all organisms are genetically identical and which has a high reproductive rate
  2. a population that has high genetic variability

Grade 10 Evolution
Earth has undergone some catastrophic changes from time to time. Which statement most likely explains why life on Earth continued following these catastrophes?
  1. Dominant species had a slow mutation rate.
  2. Many species filled the same niche.
