Question
Chapter 51.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The reason why the geographic variation in the garter snake might indicate that the behavior has evolved due to natural selection.
Concept introduction: There is a geographic distribution of the garter snake according to the habitat and the region. The food of the snake depends upon the availability of food in the surrounding habitat. An experiment designing revealed that the food acquired by the snake changed especially for the pregnant mother garter snakes.
