9) This chart shows the beak length of a population of finches in the Galapagos. The island was faced with a five year drought that made it difficult for birds to get water. If natural selection occurs, how would you predict the bird beak lengths to change? A) Only those with shorter beaks would survive. B) The population would not really change much. C) Only those with the longest beaks would survive. D) Those with medium-long beaks would increase most. Not Graded
1. Answer the following questionsa)How long will it take for a dolphin population to be reduced by 50% if the intrinsic rate of increase is -.04?b)In the last 70 years the blue whale population decreased from 340,280 to 4,727. What is the intrinsic rate of decrease (r)? c)If the current intrinsic rate of increase for blue whales is .1, how long will it take the current population of 4,727 to climb back to 340,280?
2)Which of the following best describes the difference between population size and population density? a)Population size measures the abundance of an organism, whereas population density measures the distribution b)Both variables measure abundance, but population density takes the into account the size of individuals, not just the number of individuals in the population c)Population size measures abundance, but population density measures how rapidly the size changes d)Population density measures the abundance of an organism, whereas population size measures the distribution e)None of these descriptions are correct
1. Discuss some limitations of the mark and recapture method. 2. Discuss reasons why population numbers would be important and how this data could be used to manage wildlife populations.
1. The survivorship curve above is characteristic of what type of species? Choice 1 of 3:Type I Choice 2 of 3:Type II Choice 3 of 3:Type III 2. Is this type of species likely an r-selected or K-selected species? Choice 1 of 2:r-selected Choice 2 of 2:K-selected 3. Describe the life history traits of this type of species A. reproductive strategy B. parental investment C. Expected lifespan 4. Name an animal that fits this life history strategy.
How is a clumped population distribution beneficial for prey animals? Being a member of a larger group provides protection for each individual from predators Prey animals rely on each other to acquire food Prey animals live in small family groups to raise young Clumped population distributions ensure that at least one member of the population knows how to identify the seasonal migration route.
A characteristic that exhibits smooth changes in populations distributed along a geographical gradient is called a: a. ring species. b. hybrid. c. cline. d. hybrid breakdown. e. subspecies.
Which of the following methods will tell an ecologist about both the size and density of a population? mark and recapture mark and release quadrat life table
One reason why human populations have been able to sidestep the factors that usually control population growth is that: a. the carrying capacity for humans has remained constant sincehumans first evolved. b. agriculture and industrialization have increased the carryingcapacity for our species. c. the population growth rate (r) for the human population hasalways been small. d. the age structure of human populations has no impact on itspopulation growth. e. plagues have killed off large numbers of humans at certaintimes in the past.
Populations are evolving if A. the Hardy-Weinberg equation equals 1. B. the Hardy-Weinberg equation equals 0. C. p + q changes between generations. D. p + q remains the same between generations.
1.) Which statement below is not consistent with a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A.) Genetic drift is occuring. B.) Random mating is occuring. C.) Population size is large. D.) Migration is not occuring. 2.) Sickel cell anemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. Because individuals affected by sickle cell anemia have defective hemoglobin proteins, their blood cannot transport oxygen properly. There appears to be a relationship between the incidence of malaria and sickle cell anemia. Individuals with sickle cell anemia are carriers of the sickle cell allele have some resistance to malaria. Malaria is caused by the parasite Plasmodium and is transmitted between humans by mosquitoes.” If scientists are successful in significantly reducing or eliminating malaria, the best prediction for what will happen to the allele for sickel cell anemia in the population is that it will: A.)not be affected by the elimination by malaria. B.) increase as its selective advantage…
1. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which line/curve best describes the theory of natural selection of Charles Darwin? 2. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which curve represents the scenario described by Thomas Malthus "the populations with unlimited natural resources grow very rapidly, after which population growth decreases as resources become depleted". 3. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which curve best represents the growth of bacteria? 4. The diagram shows the population curve (y-axis) vs time (x-axis). Which line/curve acts as a moderating force in the growth rate by slowing it when resources become limited and stopping growth once it has been reached.
