Question

A series of strong storms opened a stream channel between two lakes. The western lake contains a large, diverse population of a species of minnow (these are small fish). The eastern lake has never been populated by fish. When the channel opened, a small group of fish migrated to the eastern lake. Soon after, the stream channel dried up and was never opened again. The fish in the eastern lake thrived and continued to reproduce, building a large population over time. Compared with the fish in the western lake, what characteristics would you expect the population in the eastern lake to exhibit

Answer 1

Same characteristics of fishes are present.

Step-by-step explanation:

Same characteristics of fishes are present in both western and eastern lakes because in eastern lake the present fish species were migrated from the western species so the characteristics of fish population will be same. If the fishes that is present in western lake are small in size so it has same size in eastern lake. Their eating behavior and other characteristic show resemblance with the fishes present in western lake.
