Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 10TYU
SYNTHESIZE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
This kettle lake formed 14,000 years ago when a glacier that covered the surrounding area melted. Initially devoid of animal life, over time the lake was colonized by invertebrates and other animals. Hypothesize how mutation, natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow may have affected populations that colonized the lake.

Theory of Evolution PART 1
Answer the following with one sentence each question.
1. What do you know about the history of your selected area within the last 25-50 years (e.g. urbanization, geological changes, structures built or destroyed, etc)?
2. Based on this history, what hypothesis can you make about its effect on the area's nature/environment/wildlife?
3. what evolutionary changes/events do you expect to find?
4. Why do you expect to see these changes/events?
5. How will you determine these evolutionary changes/events? (your answers should
within your study's limits)
Evolution:
Describe an example of another species that has undergone evolution in response to human-driven changes to its environment.

Null: The rate of extinction would be steady over the entire length of time the climate was altered. Alternative: The rate of extinction would be greatest immediately before the asteroid strike. Null: The rate of extinction would gradually decrease over the entire length of time the climate was altered.
