Suppose individuals of a species of lizard on an island can be brown, tan, or green. Suppose a volcanic eruption on the island kills all but one male and one female lizard. Both are brown, and all later generations are brown. What is this an example of?
a genetic bottleneck
What is the first species to grow after a volcanic eruption covers an area with lava?
lichens
What is the general name of the first species to grow after a volcanic eruption covers an area with lava?
Its called Pioneer species
How does a volcanic eruption lead to succesion?
A volcanic eruption can lead to succession by creating bare, nutrient-poor volcanic terrain. This allows pioneer species such as lichens and mosses to colonize the area. Over time, these species help to break down the rock and build up soil, making it more hospitable for other plants and organisms to establish and thrive. This process continues as different species progressively colonize the area, leading to a succession of different plant communities.
What are the effect of volcanic eruption?
They bring about minerals, can form new land, and in the long term can fertilize soil.
What are the effects of volcanicity?
volcanic eruptions may cause mass extinctions or volcanic haze.a mass extinction is when a large number of species die out over a short period of geologic time and volcanic haze is when the gases of an eruption cause a haze and block out sunshine, causing a mass extinction.
What would happen if all individuals in a species?
If individuals in a species never reproduce ,it would mean an end to that species on earth
The key element in the biological concept of species is that individuals within a species can what?
Can mate with other individuals of their species and have viable progeny.
What would happen if all individuals in a species were sterile not able to have babies?
If all individuals in a species were sterile the species would become extinct
When does Parasitism occur?
A.Parasitism occurs when individuals of one species-population are used as a resource by individuals of another species-population.
Which of these species is an endangered goose that lives on volcanic slopes?
Hawaiian Goose
When does Predation occurs with in individuals?
Predation occurs when individuals in one species-population each kill multiple individuals in one or more other species-populations to use them as a resource.
