1 - $100 n Although the same species may have the same basic structure, variations exist within the same species. Variations among members of a population are referred to as A) genetic diversity B) biotic diversity C) species diversity D) living diversity n A) Genetic Diversity
1 - $200 n A group of organisms that have the same structure and can reproduce with another are considered to be n A)order n B) family n C) genus n D) species n D) Species
1 - $300 n Interdependence of species occurs because no species can survive by itself. Each species is dependent on many other species in its environment. One of the most obvious examples of this interdependence is the relationship known as n A) scavengers n B) predator-prey n C) herbivores n D) forage-food n Type answer to appear with a mouse-click here
1 - $400 n A symbiotic relationship where one species benefits and the other species is harmed is called n A) commensalism n B) mutualism n C) parasitism n D) colonialism n C) Parasitism
1 - $500 n There is one type of interdependent relationship in which the interaction between species indicates that neither species benefits. This type of interaction is called n A) cooperative dependence n B) interspecies cooperation n C) interspecies competition n D) dependent cooperation n C) interspecies competition
2 - $100 n Each organism in an ecosystem has a role. It includes what it eats, what food it provides for other organisms, its habitat, and its effect on the other organisms it shares space in the environment with. This role is called a n A) mycorrhizae n B)partition n C) niche n D) forager n C) niche
2 - $200 n Not every member of every species in the same. There are differences, called variations. Which make the individuals within a species unique. This variation within a species is called n A) commonality n B) variability n C) selectivity n D) genetics n B) variability
2 - $300 n Variation within a species may not be something that is immediately noticeable. Often variability is a characteristic that may help or hinder a species adaptation to a change in the environment. A Species is more likely to survive when there is n A) little variation n B) common variation n C) great variation n D) no variation at all n C) great variation
2 - $400 n The banded snail lives in a wide range of habitats. Its shell color has many variations, sizes and numbers of bands. Scientists explain the reason for this variation by referring to the n A) type of predator it has n B) locomotion ability it has n C) natural instincts it has n D) the changing seasons n D) the changing seasons
2 - $500 n When individuals within a species survive in the environment and other individuals do not survive, the process is known as n A) selective breeding n B) natural selection n C) artificial selection n D) interspecies breeding n B) Natural Selection
3 - $100 n To better understand variation; scientists explore the characteristics, which are passed on from generation to generation within a species. Those characteristics that are passed on from generation to generation are n A) genetic n B) inherited n C) non-inherited n D) non-genetic n B) inherited
3 - $200 n Those characteristics or variations that have a wide range of forms are n A) obnoxious n B) discrete n C) overbearing n D) continuous n D) continuous
3 - $300 n Your height is considered to be a heritable characteristic, but is affected by n A) age n B) diet n C) bone mass n D) skin type n B) Diet
