Will mark brainliest each population of squirrels evolved different adaptations for each side of the canyon and eventually became genetically different populations. this is an example of which stage of speciation? the populations become adapted to different environments and eventually become so different that they cannot interbreed to produce fertile offspring. the populations are isolated and thus do not interbreed. the populations become totally separated from one another. the populations become adapted to different environments but will still be able to interbreed, but the offspring will not be fertile.

The populations become adapted to different environments but will still be able to interbreed, but the offspring will not be fertile.

Explanation:

Each squirrel population evolved differently. This has resulted in two genetically different species that inhabit one on each side of the canyon. As the species are genetically different, the cross between them would result from hybrid animals.

Hybrid animals are those born from the cross between two beings of the same species, which are genetically different. Hybrids are known to be sterile animals, ie unable to generate offspring.

For this reason, we can say that in the case of the squirrels shown in the question above, the populations have adapted to different environments, but may still cross because they are of the same species, but the offspring will not be fertile, because the parents are genetically different.

explanation:

for  example, forests have higher evapotranspiration than other ecosystems,  such  as grasslands, because of their deeper roots and greater leaf area. thus forests have a net moistening effect on the atmosphere and become a moisture source for downwind ecosystems.
