Why is the everglades kite endangered?
because there is not enough variation within the species to allow it to evolve to the changing environment :)
Is the karner blue butterfly endangered?
Yes the Karner Blue Butterfly happens to be an endangered species!
Individuals of species that reproduce sexually tend to lack variation True False?
False
What advantages does sexual reproduction provide for sponges?
Sexual reproduction means there is much greater scope for genetic variation of offspring. Variation is good for any species as it is this variation that allows for adaption e.g. the variation might provide some individuals with resistance to a new disease that affects the species, hence those individuals survive and thrive.
Charles Darwin observed that instead of being perfect and unchanging individuals in a species show what?
variation!
How does variation in a species help the species survive?
As each new generation is produced, genetic variation may be introduced into a population. The more genetic variation in a population, the more likely it is that some individuals might have traits that will be advantageous if the environment changes.
What is the difference between a variation and a mutation?
mutation is an alteration in the nucleotide sequence of a gene whereas variation is any difference between individuals of a particular species.
What is interspecific and intraspecific cooperation?
Interspecific cooperation refers to help or assistance of individuals belonging to different species (a case of this is mutualism), whereas intraspecific cooperation is observed between individuals within the same species
What animals are endangered in the everglades?
There are many different species that are endangered in Florida. 8 species of ammphibians endangered 1 species of arachnids endangered 23 species of birds endangered 11 species of clams endangered 8 species of coralsm jellyfish and sea anemones endangered 25 species of crustaceans endangered 33 species of fishes endangered 18 species of insects endangered 15 species of mammals endangered 53 species of plants endangered 9 species of reptiles endangered 13 species of snails endangered
Why is increased variation an advantage to a species?
Because if all of the individuals had the same genetic information then if the species was introduced to a new disease or environment the individuals have the possibility of all dying. If a select few individuals had different DNA that allowed them to be resistant to a disease then they would be able to survive and save the species from extinction.
Aren't all species ultimately endangered?
Species have a lifespan, just as individuals within a species. If you, or any other creature, live long enough, eventually you will die.
Is the crow an Endangered Species?
