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
Q

It can cause an increase or decrease in biodiversity

A

Changes in the habitat

26
Q

It is the maximum number of organisms that an environment can support

A

Carrying Capacity

27
Q

A constant increase in the number of the population.

A

Exponential Growth

28
Q

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.

A

Logistic growth

29
Q

Measurement of population per unit are

A

Population density

30
Q

It is the ability of an ecosystem to be self-regulating and again become steady after a disturbance.

A

Stability

31
Q

It is the ability of organism to be suited on environment for survival

A

Adaptation

32
Q

Correct example of homologous structure

A

flipper of whale and forelimb of cat

33
Q

In the opinion of revolutionists, best demonstrates the relatedness of two organisms

A

The similarity of amino acid sequence in DNA

34
Q

TRUE OR FALSE
Most likely, two species that show a great deal of DNA evolved from a common ancestor

A

TRUE

35
Q

TRUE OR FALSE

They look precisely like modern-day specues, regardless of their age

A

FALSE

36
Q

Accurate about the description of homologous structure

A

Structure are similar in origin and structure. They evolve to fit the animals way of life

37
Q

Darwin noted that these differences were advantages for

A

different food

38
Q

Theory of evolution by Natural Selection does not include

A

Transmission of acquired traits

39
Q

Does not represent the idea of heritability

A

Acquired characteristics

40
Q

Over time, a population of heavily striped zebras increased over those without as much

A

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
Q

Jean Baptiste de Lamarck believed that giraffes before have short necks, need to survive. This theory is ____________.

A

Theory of Need

42
Q

Does not describe evolution

A

The word is stable and unchanging

43
Q

Lamarck’s Theory of evolution differ from that of Darwin’s?

A

Lamarck believed that characteristics acquired

44
Q

Does not describe Darwin’s Theory of Natural Selection

A

Population tens to replicate in minimal numbers

45
Q

Best example the Theory of Natural Selection

A

In nature, the organisms with desirable characteristics may survive

46
Q

Long distance travel by animals in search of food, water, warmer climates

A

Migration

47
Q

Biodiversity can affect the ________ of ecosystems and the ___________ of populations.

A

stability and sustainability

48
Q

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

A

d. All of the options

49
Q

Best describe adaptation

A

characteristic that improve the ability to survive

50
Q

How could a species go extinct?

A

There are enough members of the species

51
Q

Trait that allow an organism to be better suited for survival

A

Adaptation

52
Q

How can zoos, botanic gardens, and wildlife, parks help save’s species?

A

By participation

53
Q

A good conversation strategy is to presence entire ecosystems rather than individual because

A

you can save more than one species

54
Q

If the infestation would continue

note: Infestation is the state of being invaded or overrun by pests or parasites.

A

The bird population would decrease

55
Q

Add the most organisms to a population

A

The immigration of organisms

56
Q

Describe the effect on the source if the population of fishes is above the carrying capacity

A

Resources will be insufficient

57
Q

How drought will affect the rabbit populations?

A

The rabbit population will decrease
