Lecture 3 - ANSWER



Evolution is - ANSWER The source of Earths biodiversity



Species is - ANSWER A population or group of populations whose members share
characteristics and can breed with each other to produce fertile offspring.



Population is - ANSWER A group of individuals of a species that live in the same area at
the same time



Cosmopolitan refers to - ANSWER Species found everywhere



Endemic refers to - ANSWER Species only found in a specific area, vulnerable to change
and can be easily wiped out. Usually small population



Evolution refers to - ANSWER Change over time including genetic changes in
populations which can lead to modifications in appearance or behaviour.

,What is natural selection? - ANSWER The process whereby inherited characteristics
that enhance survival and reproduction are passed on more frequently to future
generations than those that do not.



Evolutionary processes influence - ANSWER Agriculture, pesticide resistance,
medicine, health, and so on.



Acclimation is - ANSWER Short change to individuals



Adaptation is - ANSWER Long term change leading to new species, trait that promotes
reproductive success



Mutations are - ANSWER Accidental mutations in DNA that may be passed to the next
grneration



Selective pressures are - ANSWER Both abiotic and biotic



Divergent evolution is when - ANSWER Selective pressures among closely related
species cause them to acquire different traits.



Convergent evolution occurs - ANSWER When very unrelated species living in similar
environments in separate locations independently acquire similar traits.



Artificial selection is - ANSWER A selection process done under human direction. Ex:
diversity of dog breeds.



Evolutionary processes play a key role in everyday lives such as - ANSWER The food we
eat

Clothes we wear

Many medical advances

Preventing antibiotic resistance in feedlots

,Pesticide resistance in crop eating insects

Technology and engineering solutions



Taxonomists are - ANSWER Scientists who classify and name organisms according to
their genetic makeup and physical appearances



Fossils are - ANSWER An imprint in stone of a dead organism



Phylogenetic trees and fossil record show that- ANSWER Life has existed on Earth for
3.5billion years

Life evolved complex structures from simple ones

Life evolved large sizes from small ones

But natural selection can also favour simplicity and small size



Extinction is - ANSWER the disappearance of species from Earth



The number of species equals - ANSWER Speciation minus extinction



What are the conditions that lead to extinction? - ANSWER Climate change, changing
sea levels, severe weather conditions, arrival of new species, small populations, and
specialized species.



In small populations, there is a good chance of - ANSWER Inbreeding instead of
interbreeding.



Monoculture is when - ANSWER You get seeds from a company and all the seeds are the
same, thus if something goes wrong all the seeds are wiped out



Polyculture is when - ANSWER Seeds are not all the same, so if something goes wrong
not all the seeds will be affected or will die.

, Humans are the cause of the sixth mass extinction event because - ANSWER Population
growth, development, and resource depletion alter and destroy natural habitats. Along
with this, humans overhunt, over harvest, pollute air, water, and soil, and introduce
non-native invasive species.



Ecology is - ANSWER The scientific study of the interactions among organisms in the
relationships between organisms and their environment. Ecology allows us to explain,
predict distribution, an abundance of organisms in nature.



Organismal ecology is - ANSWER Relationships between individuals in their
environment



Population ecology investigates - ANSWER Population changes, distribution, and
abundance of individuals, and why some populations increase in others decrease



Community ecology - ANSWER Focusses on patterns of species diversity, and
interactions



Ecosystem ecology - ANSWER Said he's living and nonliving components of systems to
reveal patterns



Landscape ecology explains - ANSWER How, and why ecosystems, communities, and
populations are distributed across geographic regions



Biosphere is - ANSWER The total living things on earth in the areas they inhabit



Habitat is - ANSWER The environment where an organism lives, it includes living and
nonliving elements



Habitat use refers to - ANSWER Nonrandom patterns for organisms live
