Bio Section 4 Flashcards
Extinction
When the whole species ceases to exist
Extirpation
When a species no longer exists in a chosen habitat/ecosystem
Overspecialization
When A species has a very specific role , which causes little variation
Fragmentation
Interruption of continuous ecosystem
Habitat Destruction
creating cities, suburbs, and agriculture lands impacting the size and distribution of viable ecosystems
Invasive Species
species that are brought over to different ecosystems, that strive and hurt other species directly or indirectly
Poaching
When you hunt a animal that has laws against hunting it
Natural Selection
When a specific variation strives due to its current status, it’ll be passed down generations
Artificial Selection
Humans select the traits in other organisms that benefit us the most and selectively breed those organisms.
GMO
Any Organism affected by Artificial Selection
Genetic engineering
Editing an organisms DNA directly
Artificial Insemination
Collecting Sperm from a prime male and inserting it into many females for fertilization
In Virto Fertilization
Combining sperm and egg cells on a petri dish then implanting the zygote into the womb of a female .
IN Situ Conservation
conservation strategy in which it maintains the species with their natural habitat
EX situ Conservation
conservation strategy where they preserve the species but not in their natural habitat
