2 QUESTION: Why was Dr. Epps collecting animal droppings (genetic data) from sheep from different bighorn sheep mountaintop populations?

3 ANSWER: He was testing whether highways prevent bighorn sheep from different mountaintops from mating with one another.

4 How would a highway running through two sheep populations affect their mating habits?

5 Based only upon geographic distance with which population would you expect Cady mountain sheep to show more signs of mating: Newberry, Old Dad, or Granite sheep? Why?

6 Answer: Newberry Why? It is the closest.

7 Due to the highways around Cady mountain, which population will Cady bighorn sheep show the least signs of mating, Newberry, Old Dad, or Granite sheep? Why?

8 Answer: Newberry Why?: It is separated from Cady Mountain by a highway.
