Answer: B:The drought decreased the grass and vegetation on the ground, leaving only vegetation on shrubs and trees above the ground. Natural selection selected for the tortoises with the domed shells and hoods.
Explanation:
<u>Answer</u>:
1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.
b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.
Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):
A. the genus or generic name
- written first
- always underlined or italicized
- the first letter is always capitalized
ex. <em>Canis</em>
B. the specific epithet or species name
- is written second
- always underlined or italicized
- never capitalized
ex. <em>lupus</em>

2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.
D. metamorphic -> melting -> igneous -> erosion
Explanation:
The sequence that would be the best possible for a rock going through the rock cycle is metamorphic rocks melting to produce igneous rocks that are eroded.
- The rock cycle shows the pathway by which different rock types are formed.
- The origin of the formation of rocks starts with the production of magma.
- Igneous rocks are formed from cooling and solidification of molten magma.
- Metamorphic rocks are formed from the subjection of igneous and sedimentary rocks to high temperature and pressure.
- Sedimentary rocks are formed from weathering, erosion, transportation and deposition of rocks.
- Option D shows a metamorphic rock melting to give igneous rocks and the igneous rock is eventually eroded to form sedimentary rocks.
