Biodiveristy - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔variety among organisms |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
and ecological systems at all levels of organization
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
What is meant by variety among organisms and ecological
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
systems at all levels of organization? (aka what are the different
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
levels of diversity?) - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔1) Genetic Diversity
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
2) Species Diversity
|\ |\
3) Ecological Diversity
|\ |\
Genetic diversity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔genetic variation
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
among individuals of the same species (ex. hair color, height,
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
blood type, etc) |\ |\
Outbreeding - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔through sexual |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
reproduction of not closely related individuals, maximizes genetic |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
diversity
|\
, Inbreeding - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔mating between closely
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
related individuals, results from small populations, and increases
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
chances of genetic disease|\ |\ |\
Genetic variation within a species (reduces/increases) the risk of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
genetic disorders associated with inbreeding. - CORRECT
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ANSWERS ✔✔reduces |\
Species diversity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔different kinds, all
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
same species (ex. salamanders in GA)
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Endemic species - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔organisms that are
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
found only in specific localities (ex. Jordan's Salamander ->
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
moisture-rich forests of the southern Appalachian Mountains) |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Ecological diversity - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the variety of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
habitats, niches, trophic levels, and community interactions. This
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
includes the structural complexity of habitat.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\
Tropical forest has (more/less) structural complexity than a
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
grassland - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔more |\ |\ |\ |\
A coral reef has (more/less) structural complexity than a sandy
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
ocean bottom floor - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔more
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
