Can trees be extinct?
Yes if course they can, any species whether plant or animal can faces the risk of becoming extinct.
What happens if one animal in the food chain becomes extinct?
If apex predators went extinct, it would probably allow the prey species that the predators ate to multiply and overproduce, and that overproduction would then over eat the plants and other things that they subsisted upon, which would deplete the food supply, causing a massive die-off of the prey species. Hopefully things would balance again at some point, but it depends on whether the environment was destroyed by the overpopulation surge, and whether the prey species are able to adapt or spread to sustain themselves.
What is the trade-off between saving an endangered species or recreating an extinct one?
The trade off between saving an endangered species or recreating an extinct one is huge. Saving an endangered species can often be accomplished with land set aside for protection. Recreating an extinct species requires scientific accomplishment along with the creation of an area for the species to exist.
What do biologists use to classify animal's?
Biology may use skeletal similarities in determining where extinct animals are placed in relation to surviving species and other extinct species. Chromosomal similarities, whether they are eukaryotes (animals, plants, fungi), or whether they are prokaryotes (bacteria, archaea) are commonly used to classify modern species. Species that are believed to have a similar ancestor are grouped into genuses.
How do you determine whether species were extinct or evolved for example prehistoric man isn't considered extinct because it has evolved to modern humans while dinosaurs consider extinct?
dinosaurs arent extinct just like humans they evolved into birds and lizards
What are the trade offs in deciding whether to save an endangered species or to recreate an extinct one?
It is easier and quicker to save a species when it is at risk of being extinct. Speciation takes too long; therefore humans should do everything within their power to save animals.
Why are giant pandas important to the environment?
they have a limited affect on the bamboo eaten ant resultant micro habitat of faeces but would probably not be massivly noticed if extinct. remember most life form of this planet are extinct. dh
Is the biological species concept is useful only for extinct organisms?
No, the biological species concept can be applied to both extant and extinct organisms. It is a useful framework for defining species based on reproductive isolation and gene flow within populations, regardless of whether those populations currently exist or not.
Name two factors that will determine whether a non-native species becomes an invasive species?
Two factors that can determine whether a non-native species becomes invasive are its ability to reproduce rapidly and outcompete native species for resources, and the absence of natural predators or controls in its new habitat.
Two factors that determine whether a non native species becomes an invasive species?
1.Very high and still Increasing population and 2. They are dominating or killing off other species in the area
What does it means to be endangered whales?
An endangered animal, whether it is a whale or a horse means that there are not that many of the species left. This means that they are close to dying out completely and becoming extinct
What are two factors that will determine whether a nonnative species becomes an invasive species?
An "invasive species" is defined as a species that is 1) non-native (or alien) to the ecosystem under consideration and 2) whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health.
