Q

It gives us an idea on how fasr a population changes over time

A

Population growth

24
Q

Population growth can be affected by ______________.

A

Density-dependent or density independent limiting factors

25
It can cause an increase or decrease in biodiversity
Changes in the habitat
26
It is the maximum number of organisms that an environment can support
Carrying Capacity
27
A constant increase in the number of the population.
Exponential Growth
28
A population growth in which the growth rate decreases with increasing number of organisms, until it becomes zero when the population reaches it carrying capacity.
Logistic growth
29
Measurement of population per unit are
Population density
30
It is the ability of an ecosystem to be self-regulating and again become steady after a disturbance.
Stability
31
It is the ability of organism to be suited on environment for survival
Adaptation
32
Correct example of homologous structure
flipper of whale and forelimb of cat
33
In the opinion of revolutionists, best demonstrates the relatedness of two organisms
The similarity of amino acid sequence in DNA
34
TRUE OR FALSE Most likely, two species that show a great deal of DNA evolved from a common ancestor
TRUE
35
TRUE OR FALSE They look precisely like modern-day specues, regardless of their age
FALSE
36
Accurate about the description of homologous structure
Structure are similar in origin and structure. They evolve to fit the animals way of life
37
Darwin noted that these differences were advantages for
different food
38
Theory of evolution by Natural Selection does not include
Transmission of acquired traits
39
Does not represent the idea of heritability
Acquired characteristics
40
Over time, a population of heavily striped zebras increased over those without as much
Stripping, as the heavily striped ones had a competitive advantage iver the zebras with fewer stripes, and were therefore, better be able to produce
41
Jean Baptiste de Lamarck believed that giraffes before have short necks, need to survive. This theory is ____________.
Theory of Need
42
Does not describe evolution
The word is stable and unchanging
43
Lamarck's Theory of evolution differ from that of Darwin's?
Lamarck believed that characteristics acquired
44
Does not describe Darwin's Theory of Natural Selection
Population tens to replicate in minimal numbers
45
Best example the Theory of Natural Selection
In nature, the organisms with desirable characteristics may survive
46
Long distance travel by animals in search of food, water, warmer climates
Migration
47
Biodiversity can affect the ________ of ecosystems and the ___________ of populations.
stability and sustainability
48
Which of the following statements supports the idea that extinction is necessary? a. To give way for other organisms to develop b. To let other organisms evolve and progress c. To know who is the fittest d. All of the options
d. All of the options
49
Best describe adaptation
characteristic that improve the ability to survive
50
How could a species go extinct?
There are enough members of the species
51
Trait that allow an organism to be better suited for survival
Adaptation
52
How can zoos, botanic gardens, and wildlife, parks help save's species?
By participation
53
A good conversation strategy is to presence entire ecosystems rather than individual because
you can save more than one species
54
If the infestation would continue note: Infestation is the state of being invaded or overrun by pests or parasites.
The bird population would decrease
55
Add the most organisms to a population
The immigration of organisms
56
Describe the effect on the source if the population of fishes is above the carrying capacity
Resources will be insufficient
57
How drought will affect the rabbit populations?
The rabbit population will decrease
