23
Q

Deuterostomes have

A

Radial indeterminate cleavage

24
Homoplastuc characteristic shared by vertebrates
Segmentation
25
Cnidarians posses
Radial symmetry | Unique stinging cells
26
A reflex becomes associated with a new stimulus
Classical conditioning
27
Spontaneous behaivor is reinforced
Operant conditioning
28
Number of individuals of a species per unit or volume at a given time
Population density
29
Maximum rate at which a species could increase
Intrinsic rate of interest
30
Regulate population growth by affecting aLarger portion | Ex: disease, predation
Density dependent factors
31
Limit population growth but are not influenced by changes in population density Ex: hurricane , blizzards
Density independent factors
32
Energy expended in a single immense reproductive effort
Semelparous
33
Species exhibit repeated reproductive cycles
Iteroparous
34
A set of local populations among which individuals are distributed in distinct habitat patches
Meta population
35
Local reproductive success is greater than local mortality
Source habitats
36
Lower quality habitats where individuals may suffer death or poor reproductive success
Sink habitats
37
The distinctive lifestyle and role of an organism in a community
Ecological niche
38
Competition occurring within a population
Intraspecific competition
39
Competition between different species
Interspecific
