If New York experiences drought conditions during April, May, and June 2022, how would you expect local tree rings to differ compared to rings made in 2021 (which had normal rainfall)?     Early wood cells would be larger in 2022, creating thicker rings     Late wood cells would be larger in 2022, creating thicker rings     Early wood cells would be smaller in 2022, creating thinner rings     Late wood cells would be smaller in 2022, creating thinner rings     Rings would be similar both years as water amount has little effect during spring and early summer

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
