How does the extinction of various species results in a less diverse ecosystem?
The diversity of an ecosystem is how many different species (or types of organisms) there are. If a species becomes extinct, then there is 1 less species in that ecosystem and there is less diversity. If more than one species dies out, then the diversity is decreased by more than one organism.
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 measure that relates the number of species in a community to the relative abundance of each species is called?
Species diversity.
What is true about the gene pool and genetic diversity?
A diverse community is a community populated by people from many different backgrounds; differences in background such as social, economic, religious, ethnic, or country of origin.
The principle that living species were descend with changes from other species over time is referred to as?
The theory that living species were descend with changes from other species over time is referred to as evolution.
Does bacteria exhibit genetic diversity within bacterial species?
Yes. This is why bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics.
How is genetic diversity different from species diversity?
The main difference between genetic diversity and species diversity is that genetic diversity is the differences of DNA among individuals of a particular species whereas species diversity is the variety of species in a particular region. Ecological diversity is the variety of ecosystems in a particular area.Oct 30, 2017
Species diversity is the number of what?
species diversity is the number of species that live in one area (or ecosystem)
How is genetic diversity beneficial to species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity beneficial a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity to beneficial to a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
What is species diversity diversity?
Species diversity is the number of different species in a particular area weighted by some measure of abundance such as number of individuals or biomass.
Why does extinction endanger diversity?
Extinction is the permanent removal of a species which decreases bio-diversity. Bio-diversity is measured in two fashions # of species and # of members/species these two factors together make up a regions bio diversity, therefore with the removal of a species the regions bio-diversity decreases.
What 3 examples of biodiversity?
genetic diversity species diversity ecosystem diversity
What are relationship between ecosystem diversity and species diversity?
Genetic Diversity: 1. It is related to number of genes and their alleles found in organisms. 2. It is trait of the species. 3. It influences adaptability and distribution of a species in diverse habitats. Species Diversity: 1. It is related to number and distribution of species found in an area. 2. It is trait of the community. 3. It influences biotic interactions and stability of the community.
What three patterns of biodiversity did Darwin note?
Divergent Evolution, Convergent Evolution, and Coevolution
What factors account for the diversity of species?
Adaptation and Species.
