When we say that an individual organism has a greater fitness than another individual, we specifically mean that the organism: Group of answer choices a. utilizes resources more efficiently than other species occupying the same niches, or habitats b. lives longer than others of its species c. mates more frequently than others of its species d. competes more successfully for resources than others of its species e. leaves more viable offspring than others of its species
Explain why you chose A or B, etc. Provide a logical explanation defending your answer choice. Q: If two species are competing for a resource, and one species is a much better competitor than the other, the most likely outcome is _________. Group of answer choices A) The stronger competitor attempts to predate the other B) The competitors partition the resource they are competing over C) Evolution of a mutualist or commensal relationship D) All of these are likely E) Extirpation of the weaker competitor Q: 3-toed sloths have a species of algae that live in their hair, which improves their camouflage in the forest canopy. In turn, the algae get moisture and a place to grow. This is an example of a(n) ________________ interaction, and is denoted by ______. Group of answer choices A) Amensal, +/0 B) Amensal, -/0 C) Mutualistic; +/+ D) Commensal; +/0 E) Commensal; +/+ F) Mutualistic; +/0

A population in ecology is defined as ________. Select one: A. All of the species found in a given area B. A group of organisms, some from the same species, some from other species C. One organism and its surrounding environment D. A group of organisms, all from the same species who can interbreed E. A group of organisms, some from the same species, some from other species, and their surrounding environment
EVOLUTION LINK Competition is an important part of Darwins scientific theory of evolution by natural selection, and the evolution of features that reduce competition increases a populations overall fitness. Relate this idea to character displacement and resource partitioning in Darwins finches.
The tendency for two similar species to differ from each other more markedly in areas where they occur together is known as (a) Mllerian mimicry (b) Batesian mimicry (c) resource partitioning (d) competitive exclusion (e) character displacement
1.) A Large group of organisms that are related, share common characteristics and are capable of interbreeding. a.) Adaptation b.) species c.) Habitat d.) Epidemics 2.) When a population grows past the ecosystem's carrying capacity, what happens to the population? a.) It starts to die off to return to carrying capacity b.) It continues to grow c.) It grows then finds a new carrying capacity d.) It will go extinct due to lack of resources 3.) Why would advances in medicine lead to population growth? a.) Treatment of deadly diseases allows people to live longer. b.) People are unable to have babies without medical help. c.) Babies do not grow if they don't take their medicines. d.) Drugs allow mothers to have multiple births, like octuplets. 4.) Mang Berto breeds white mice in a cage. After a few generations, the breeder observes that the white mice are more aggressive towards each other, the young are less healthy, and more young white mice die. What do you think will…
Which of the following is an example of an r-selected species? a. Whales b. Elephants c. Humans d. Most insects e. Most tropical rainforest trees
slands are well known for having many endemic (unique) species. What is a likely explanation for this pattern? A. Humans bring partly or fully domesticated species with them when they arrive on islands. B. Colonizers encounter fewer competitors on an island, so they can diversify. C. Islands are more complex habitats than continents are, so they have more niches for specializations. D. Colonizers are likely to have more diversity than local populations and thus outcompete them. E. The type of organism that is a good colonizer has more than the average amount of genetic variability, so it's more likely to speciate.
How are biological communities classified? Select all that apply. A. mimicry behaviors exhibited B. the populations that are represented C. whether the population are predators D. whether the population are prey E. the population's longevity
Competition is most intense between members of a(n)_______ . Predators and their prey act as agents of__________ on one another, resulting in a formof evolution called______ . This results in the evolution of characteristics called______ that help both predators and their prey survive andreproduce.
In a population of sociable weavers (small birds that live in the African savanna), body weight was recorded for 977 birds and graphed. (n) Identify and describe the type of selection that is occurring in the population of sociable weavers. (o) A group of fire ants from North America were accidently brought to African savanna by an American tourist in their luggage. The fire ants bite and cause harm to all organisms and their food supply in the savanna. Explain how the fire ants will impact the ecosystem dynamics
