Question
Chapter 54.2, Problem 2LO
Summary Introduction
To determine: The causes which affect a species to change its geographic region with time.
Introduction: Species is a group of organisms living in a specific region and capable of exchanging genes or interbreeding among them. Species exhibit tremendous variation in the extent of their geographic distributions and region adaptation. The combined influence of biotic and abiotic factors affects the geographical distribution of organisms.

Examine your environment or near local ecosystem and look for the species having variations in appearance. Give an example of a species and its example of variation? explain how these variations affect their fitness-the rate of survival and reproduction. Make a journal
From what you know about how species diversitychanges with latitude, predict how species diversity changes withaltitude.
State three possible reasons why species would have “clumped distribution” within their populations? Write two sentences for each reason.

After, explain how it is related to the statement "Survival of the fittest" of Charles Darwin.arrow_forwardWhy are species that live at the tops of mountains at increased risk of extinction due to climate change? a. The colder temperatures at the tops of mountains gradually increase, and the species at the tops of the mountains are displaced by species at lower elevations moving up. b. The species at the tops of the mountains are adapted to moving up and down the mountains and species at lower elevations are displacing them as they move down the mountains. c. The species at the tops of the mountains are adapted to lower oxygen and climate change increases oxygen content in the air. d. Species at the tops of mountains do not have the genetic diversity for adaptation that lower-elevational species do. Therefore species at the tops of the mountains are more likely to go extinct.arrow_forward
