What obstacles did Abel Tasman face?
Abel Tasman faced obstacles such as rough seas, uncharted territories, hostile encounters with indigenous populations, and inclement weather during his explorations in the South Pacific. Additionally, he struggled with limited provisions and insufficient crew members on his journeys.
Endangered species in Scotland?
Some of the endangered species in Scotland include the Scottish wildcat, the red squirrel, and the Eurasian beaver. Habitat loss, pollution, and human impact are some of the main threats to these species' survival in the Scottish environment. Conservation efforts are being implemented to help protect and recover these endangered species populations.
Two South American countries are members of OPEC?
Ecuador and Venezuela are the two South American countries that are members of OPEC (Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries). They are also the only South American countries that are full members of the organization.
What is the written description of how a single population lives?
A single population refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in the same geographic area and capable of interbreeding. Members of the population interact with one another and their environment to compete for resources, reproduce, and maintain genetic diversity. Factors like birth rate, death rate, migration, and genetic variation influence the dynamics and characteristics of the population over time.
Is subset or some part of a larger population?
In mathematics a subset is any part of a set including the entire set or the empty set (ie, the set with no elements). Some of th people doing statistics on populations might be unwilling to include the empty set as a subset of a population.
What happens when members from separated populations not reproduce with each other?
They become separate species.
If members of a species fail to reproduce successfully the species?
If all members of a species fail to reproduce, the species will die out and can become extinct.
When members of two separated groups of a population can no longer interbreed the two groups are members of different?
when members of two separated groups of a population can no longer interbreed, the two groups are members of different what
Which statement about the members of a populations living long enough to reproduce is consistent with the theory of natural selection?
According to the theory of natural selection, members of a population that possess advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce, thereby passing those traits on to the next generation. This means that individuals who are better adapted to their environment will have higher reproductive success. Over time, these beneficial traits become more common in the population, leading to evolutionary change. Thus, survival and reproductive success are key components of how natural selection shapes populations.
Can members of a species reproduce among themselves?
yep
How can organisms be members of the same species but not members of the same population?
Population is a group of organisms of the same species actively reproducing with one another. Physical barriers and distance are typical causes of different populations. An individual may move from one population to another.
Is it called natural selection when the better adapted members of a population reproduce to a greater degree than the less well adapted members?
Yes, that is more or less what we call natural selection. Although we usually speak of the adaptation of entire populations, not individuals - and a population has adapted if its average fitness (reproductive rates) has reached some optimal value, which means that natural selection has already acted. So it would be more accurate to say that it is called natural selection when the fitter members of a population reproduce to a greater degree than the less fit members.
What is the process by which members of isolated populations become so different in genetic makeup that they cannot produce life?
The process by which members of isolated populations become so genetically distinct that they can no longer interbreed is called speciation, often occurring through mechanisms like allopatric speciation. When populations are separated by geographic barriers, such as mountains or rivers, they experience different evolutionary pressures and mutations over time. This genetic divergence can lead to reproductive isolation, where even if the populations come into contact again, they are unable to produce viable offspring due to differences in mating behaviors, genetic incompatibilities, or other barriers.
List and describe the different types of genetic isolation?
geographic isolation- the physical separation of members of a population reproductive isolation- the inability of members of a population to successfully interbreed with members of another population of the same or related species information from MODERN BIOLOGY by HOLT, Rinehart and Winston
All the populations of a particular kind of organism are members of the same what?
Species
When members of a species become separated by geography and loose the ability to interbreed how would scientists classify them?
Scientists would classify these separated members as different species, based on the biological species concept which defines a species as a group of organisms that can interbreed and produce fertile offspring. When geographic isolation prevents interbreeding, the populations may evolve independently and accumulate enough genetic differences to be classified as separate species.
What can a specie of a frog do that no other can?
It can mate with other members of it's species and reproduce.
