BIOL 102 FINAL EXAM: ESSENTIAL
BIOLOGY II W/LAB, 2025/2026 WITH
CORRECT/ACCURATE ANSWERS
PORTAGE LEARNING
Focuses on evolution, biological diversity, plant and animal anatomy and
physiology, and ecology.
Covering the following topics
I. Evolution and Population Genetics
II. Biological Diversity (The Five Kingdoms)

IV. Animal Anatomy and Physiology
V. Ecology
ESSENTIAL BIOLOGY II W/LAB
A large number of species successfully travel over the ocean to inhabit a
new volcanic island. The next year, all available niches on the island are
filled. This is an example of what? - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Example of
Succession
In geology history, South America had an almost entirely unique collection
of species. Today South America has many fewer unique species than it
did(though still a lot). This change is a result of what? - CORRECT-
ANSWERS--Result of Competition for niches
We sterilize a large container of soil, thus killing all life forms in it. This
container of soil is put in an environmentally controlled container in a
, laboratory, where air and water can move in and out of it but life forms
cannot enter. Exactly one strain of bacteria is introduced to it, and we go
away for 50 years. Eventually we take a DNA sample from the contained
and discover dozens of bacteria in various niches. This is an example of
what? - CORRECT-ANSWERS--Example of Adaptive Radiation
What are some components of a species' niche? - CORRECT-ANSWERS--
What the organism eats, the annual rainfall where the species lives, and
the nutrients levels in the soil that the species lives on
The community of species of Hawaiian honeycreepers started out with
how many ancestral species? - CORRECT-ANSWERS--1
"Guild" is most directly a part of which major biodiversity concept? -
CORRECT-ANSWERS--Ecological
Large, furry, and feathery animals make up how much of the species on
Earth? - CORRECT-ANSWERS--A minority
Put the level of classifications in order 1=MOST 4=FEWEST - CORRECT-
ANSWERS--1)Phylum 2)Order 3)Family 4)Genus
A concept where scientists understand the diversity of life forms in Earth -
CORRECT-ANSWERS--Biodiversity
the ecological role a particular species has in the environment - CORRECT-
ANSWERS--Niche
Ecological roles for species include... - CORRECT-ANSWERS--All
interactions with other living things, set of environmental circumstances it
