What does modification of a species environment mean?
The modification of a specie's environment occurs most often when humans modify or change a species habitat from the way it is naturally to a new, altered version of the environment. For example, hundreds of years ago in what is today Florida, millions of square miles of forests and swamps made up the area. Those swamps were, and still are, home to millions of alligators which are native to that environment. However, today many condos and businesses are being built on land which was previously occupied by alligators as well as with other species. Instead of swimming and hunting in their original swamp environment, they are now inhabiting private swimming pools, lakes, and golf courses, sometimes hunting pets and small children. This is an example of reoccurring human-animal conflict due to humans modifying a specie's environment.

What is a diapsidian?
A diapsidian is an animal with two openings in its skull. This is a technical description of the evolutionary modification in reptiles that occurred about 300m years ago splitting them from more primitive mammals. Modern diapsidians include snakes, lizards and crocodiles. Turtles are an example of reptiles that are not diapsidians. Some say birds should also be included a Diapsidians because they evolved from reptiles that shared characteristics with lizards.

What two breeds of dog make a Boxer?
boxer's are a breed of there own Actually, boxers (like many modern breeds) did originate by mixing other dog breeds. "The Boxer is part of the Molosser dog group, developed in Germany in the late 19th century from the now extinct Bullenbeisser, a dog of Mastiff descent, and Bulldogs brought in from Great Britain." (from Wikipedia) FYI - this is a perfect example of how you should think twice before believing an answer that is written with so many grammatical errors ;)

What is descent with modification and how do fossils help it?
Descent with modification is a principal that is closely linked to natural selection. It means that the descendants of a parent species will have been slightly modified, and their descendants will be slightly modified, and so on. Natural selection is the engine that drives this modification- and ensures that this change is in a direction that better suits the species to its environment. In this way, species are constantly changing, though extremely slowly. The geological record can show how a certain species has slowly changed over time. As we follow a species through hundreds of thousands of years, parts of its organization become modified as the species becomes better suited to its environment, or to other environments that allow it to extend its range. These changes in physical aspects can be seen in fossils and show, for example, how a fin for swimming evolved into a leg for walking.
