Students have asked these similar questions
If humans were to become extinct, what are three species that might also become extinct and what are three species whose populations would probably grow?
Identify a species that your group thinks is ok to drive to extinction and justify the reasons for this decision. Can you anticipate any consequences of losing this species from the Earth?
What is Allopatric speciation?
A) When a population is separated from the main group by a barrier and becomes a new species
B) When a population mutates into a new species
C) When a population develops into a new species without any physical barriers to isolate them

Adaptive radiation is when populations diverge from a common ancestor into new species, each of which is adapted to its own unique niche.

- Climate warming could lead to all-female populations of bearded dragons, resulting in extinction of the species. What are some other potential effects of climate warming on natural populations of organisms?arrow_forwardIn one of the hypotheses that explain the extinction of the dinosaurs, the rapid climatic change produced an environmental situation with which these species could not cope. How important is the total amount of variation present in the population if the selective pressures suddenly change? Why?arrow_forwardn which situation would it make sense to use the morphological species concept? When you are able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are unable to determine if they interbreed When working with fossils from extinct organisms When you only have genetic data about each organism in your study When you are not able to collect data about how individuals in your study use their habitat, but you are able to collect reproductive dataarrow_forward
