Severe flooding in an area caused a population of minnows to become split into two separate ponds. Prior to the separation, the
male minnows all had a moderate number of spots.
Following the separation, the first pond was filled with larger fish that fed on minnows, so male minnows with fewer spots were
better able to avoid detection by predators. The minnows in the second pond, however, had very few predators, and female
minnows in this pond preferred to mate with males that had the most spots.
After many generations, the two minnow populations evolved into different species and could no longer interbreed.
Fish Species
Original Species

New Species 1
New Species 2
Average # of Spots

zero to two
eight to ten
Which of the following best describes why the two minnow populations evolved into separate species?

Subduction zones form when an oceanic plate collides with another oceanic plate or continental plate. the continental crust is lighter and less dense than oceanic crust. continental crust's density is approximately 2.7 grams per cubic centimeter. oceanic crust is thinner and the average density is about 3.3 cubic centimeters. when the two crustal plates converge the oceanic plate always bends and subducts beneath a continental plate. once the oceanic crust subjects, the rocks are subjected to changes in heat and pressure. because of this, we would expect to find rocks in the area of a subduction. a) clastic b) igneous c) metamorphic d) sedimentary
