Which statement is a valid analysis about bison movement and the carrying capacity of Yellowstone National Park?
A.
The decrease in the northern herd's population is explained by its inability to migrate and the park's decreasing carrying capacity.
B.
The fact that bison only migrate in years of deep snow indicates that they have exceeded the park's carrying capacity.
C.
The carrying capacity for other animals found in Yellowstone has increased due to the bison's migration outside of the park.
D.
The movement of bison beyond park boundaries is not due to the bison population being too large for the park's carrying capacity.
Part B:
Which selection from the text provides evidence that directly supports this analysis?
A.
They move to lower elevation ranges during the winter months in response to snow accumulation and snowpack development.
B.
The model integrates data from several ecosystem-related variables,…

- Despite not sharing a recent common reptilian ancestor, both mammals and birds are homeotherms. Which of the following statements best explains how this trait came about? A. The development of homeothermic capabilities is the result of convergent evolution due to similar selection pressures B. Similar development of homeothermic capabilities is the result of adaptive radiation from a reptilian ancestor C. Birds and mammals diverged from dinosaurs, which were homeothermic D. Mammals and birds both inherited homeothermic capabilities from an ancient reptilian ancestor and then diverged E.
