How would you explain a species that remains the same for millions of years?

This can happen by certain species already well adapted to their environment, such as certain fish and so on... OR. Species have had the perfect enviorment for them to live in! AP BIOLOGY!


What do national parks promote?

They promote a safe environment where you can have fun and let loose and enjoy some activities in a natural environment. The parks promote conservation of our native species of plants and animals.


What were dinosaur homes like?

Dinosaur homes varied widely depending on the species and the environment they inhabited. Many dinosaurs lived in diverse ecosystems, including forests, plains, and wetlands, which provided shelter and food. Some species, like theropods, may have built nests on the ground or in trees, while larger dinosaurs like sauropods likely roamed vast areas searching for vegetation. Overall, their habitats were shaped by the climate and geography of the time, influencing their behavior and survival.


How would you define the term invasive species?

An invasive species is a non-native organism that, upon introduction to a new environment, causes harm to the ecosystem, economy, or human health. These species often outcompete native species for resources, disrupt food webs, and can lead to significant ecological imbalances. Their spread is typically facilitated by human activities, such as trade and travel. Control and management of invasive species are crucial to preserving biodiversity and maintaining ecosystem health.


Who was the discoverer of fire?

Almost certainly some nonhuman ancestor of modern humans whose species has long since gone extinct, as archeological evidence seems to indicate all modern human populations have always had and used fire. Names of nonhuman ancestors aren't available.

What happened to the ancestor of the honeycreeper when it left the mainland and encountered the diverse niches of Hawaii?

It radiated adaptively into many new species. This is common when a species encounters diverse niches of Island groups. See Darwin's finches.

What is the emergence of a new species called?

The emergence of a new species is called speciation. This process occurs when a subgroup of a species becomes reproductively isolated from the rest of the population, leading to the evolution of distinct characteristics and eventually a new species.


What is an apical ancestor?

An apical ancestor is the most recent common ancestor of a group of species in a phylogenetic tree. It represents the point where the evolutionary lineage leading to a group of species splits from the rest of the tree.


What does it mean if species are said to have common ancestor?

If species are said to have a common ancestor, it means they are believed to have descended from a single, shared ancestor species in the past. This indicates that despite differences observed in the species today, they share a genetic and evolutionary heritage that links them back to a common origin.


What is the meaning of radiation as used in the term adaptive radiation?

In this context, radiation means divergence: the emergence of multiple populations, each adapted to their particular niche or otherwise changing relative to their ancestors and siblings, from a common ancestor.


What is a common ancestor?

a common ancestor is a species that multiple species share as the species they descended froma person born or that has lived before you and the word common means the same SO ....... its when you have the same descendant or person who lived before you or an ancestor that's the same


How does having a diverse gene pool help a specie survive?

Species that lack a diverse gene pool are less able to adapt to changes in the environment and are less able to survive diseases.


The unifying theme in biology responsible for species diversity is?

The unifying theme in biology responsible for species diversity is evolution through natural selection. This process drives genetic changes over time, leading to the adaptation of organisms to their environment and the emergence of new species.
