BIO 322: EXAM 1 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
Efforts to recover populations of the Red Wolf are controversial
because... - correct answer the Red wolf may be a result of
hybridization rather than be considered a true species.
Under which species concept is the total number of recognized
species likely to be largest? - correct answer phylogenic species
concept
endemic - correct answer a species that is geographically limited to
only one defined area
Which of the following is NOT a plausible explanation for the
mismatch between the predicted number of extinctions and the
number of extinctions actually observed in historic times? - correct
answer no one has bother to document actual extinctions
, BIO 322
Although widely used, the species-area approach to predicting
extinctions is likely to overestimate the actual extinction rate,
because - correct answer the amount of area that must be destroyed
to kill the last individual of a species is almost always much
greater than the amount of area that would have to be
destroyed to encounter the first individual of a species.
