what is species ritchness

what is a neiche

what is an anatomical adaptation

what is a behavioral adaptation

what is natural selection
a process where better adapted oranisms survive and reproduce passing on advantageous allels to future generations
what is evolution
when the frequency of alleles in a gene pool changes over time
what are the conditions of the hardy weinburg equasion
- breeding is random
- large population
- isolated population
- no selection pressure
- no mutation
how do i remember order of clasification
dear king philip came over for good spaghetti
what is the order of clasification
domain kingdom phylum class order family genus species
why is clasification important
supports conservation efforts and organises organisms into groups making it easier to to study
Plant fibres and oil-based plastics have both been used to make ropes.
Describe one advantage and one disadvantage of using ropes made from plant fibres rather
than ropes made from oil-based plastics.
ropes made of plant fibres are biodegradable howevery may nto be as durable as the ropes made of oil based plastics
what is meant by endemic
only found in 1 geographical location
