What group of organisms that interbreed successfully?

birds willinbreed with each other but so did dinosaurs back in the day on a small island in the tropics about 30 million years ago


A process in which a small group evolves into several different forms that live in different ways is called?

Adaptive radiation. This process occurs when a common ancestor diversifies into different species to exploit various ecological niches, leading to the evolution of distinct forms within a relatively short period of time.


What is the difference between a species and a population?

A population is all the organisms that both belong to the same species and live in the same geographical area. A species is defined as a group of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile offspring. There can be multiple populations of one species but a population only consist of one species.


What kingdom is moss in?

There are about 12,000 different species of moss in the World. All species of moss are in the kingdom of Plantae.


What are the three types of bio diversity?

Genetic Diversity: the sum of all the different genes in a particular species (species: group of the same type of organisms that can easily breed and produce offspring) -there are small variances in organisms of the same species (ie height, colour). These small differences can help the species to adapt to the constantly changing world. -may help survival rate of species (monoculture vs. rich diversity species) Species Diversity: variety of species and relative abundance to the species living together in the same area. Having the variety of species live together may contribute to their health and sustainability to the ecosystem. Structural (Ecosystem) Diversity: variety of habitats, the different species that live in that habitat, and the relationships that connect the different species together.

The evolutionary theory that suggests that a species slowly and continuously evolves over a long period of time is?

Gradualism. This theory proposes that evolution occurs gradually over many generations through small, incremental changes in populations.
