Instructions: You will need to write a 1-page lab report using the scientific method to answer the following question:

• What would happen if a species within a population were suddenly split into 2 groups by an earthquake that creates a physical barrier like a canyon?

When your lab report is complete, post it in Submitted Assignment files.

Use the animated time progression of speciation to help you write up your lab report.Write a 1-page lab report using the following scientific method sections:

• Purpose
  • State the purpose of the lab.
• Introduction
  • This is an investigation of what is currently known about the question being asked. Use background information from credible references to write a short summary about concepts in the lab. List and cite references in APA style.
• Hypothesis/Predicted Outcome
  • A hypothesis is an educated guess. Based on what you have learned and written about in the Introduction, state what you expect to be the results of the lab procedures.
• Methods
  • Summarize the procedures that you used in the lab. The Methods section should also state clearly how data (numbers) were collected during the lab; this will be reported in the Results/Outcome section.
• Results/Outcome
  • Provide here any results or data that were generated while doing the lab procedure.
• Discussion/Analysis
  • In this section, state clearly whether you obtained the expected results, and if the outcome was as expected.
  • Note: You can use the lab data to help you discuss the results and what you learned.

Provide references in APA format. This includes a reference list and in-text citations for references used in the Introduction section.

Give your paper a title and number, and identify each section as specified above. Although the hypothesis will be a 1-sentence answer, the other sections will need to be paragraphs to adequately explain your experiment.
