Paciulli FINAL BIO 181 NCSU, Exam Questions and answers, 100% Accurate. VERIFIED. To the west of Wallace's Line in Southeast Asia are organisms related to Asiatic species. To the east of the line, there is a mixture of species of Asian and Australian origin. This is an example of: - -biogeography Two members of the initial Amish migration to Pennsylvania in 1744 shared the recessive allele for Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, which results in a long narrow chest and shortening of the limbs. ...

Why might Pasteur's experiment be inconclusive? - The swan-necked flask broth may not support cell growth, or the broth was poisoned. Experiment did not confirm hypothesis that all cells come from pre-existing cells Why are replicates important in experiments? - To ensure that results were not achieved by random chance What is the definition of a replicate? - Unit that shares a common thing (4 mice in one cage = 1 replicate) What does the law of succession suggest? - As one species disap...

Allopatry - Vicariance - Chance separation (earthquake, etc.) Allopatry- Dispersal - A population moves to a new habitat, colonizes it, and forms a new population Although both are possible, which of the following situations is more probable regarding the evolutionary history of a species (i or ii): i. Common characteristics are usually shared with other closely related organisms ii. Common traits evolved several times throughout history and have nothing to do with shared ancestry - i? Ap...

T/F: Species diversity increases as you approach the equator correct answer: True What are possible reasons why more species occur near the equator correct answer: - More time without geological disruptions (e.g., glaciers) - More niches - Climatic stability - Greater biological productivity What is speciation correct answer: The formation of two species from one ancestral species What factors lead to speciation correct answer: - natural selection - sexual selection - genetic d...

environmental pressures correct answers the factors (abiotic or biotic) in an ecosystem which put pressure on an organism's survival and increase competition (whether inter-species or intra-species) biodiversity correct answers a combination of the species diversity, genetic diversity and habitat diversity of an ecosystem variation correct answers the differences, either physical or genetic, between individuals of a species simpson's diversity index correct answers a measure of divers...
