How does resource partitioning contribute to the overall stability of an ecosystem?

resource partitioning only benefits a few species, leading to instability in the ecosystem.

resource partitioning increases competition and disrupts coexistence, leading to instability in the ecosystem.

resource partitioning has no effect on competition or coexistence in the ecosystem.

Reef-building coral are marine animals with single-celled algae living in their tissues. The coral provides protection for the algae and the algae provides food for the coral. Which of these statements best explains what would happen to the coral if the algae die?

The coral would die because it needs the food produced by the algae.

The coral would grow well because it does not have a competitor.

The coral would grow well because it does not have a parasite.

The coral would die because it cannot produce food for the algae.

Julie collected data on the structure of the human ear from four members of her class.Which of the following terms describe lobe traits?

Heritable characteristic and discrete variation

Heritable characteristic and continuous variation

Non-heritable characteristic and continuous variation

Non-heritable characteristic and discrete variation

Which of the following all show discrete variation?

blood type, eye colour, fingerprint type

body height, hair type, heart rate

foot length, tongue rolling ability, hand span

body mass, eye colour, earlobes attached

Which statement correctly explains why one of the species is more likely to survive an environmental change?

Species 2 because it has greater genetic diversity

Species 1 because it has fewer genes

Species 2 because it has more genes

Species 1 because it has less genetic diversity

Over a period of years, the average rainfall in an area decreases, causing environmental changes. Which of the following populations would be most likely to survive these environmental changes?

a population with the greatest amount of genetic variation

a population with the least amount of genetic variation

a population that has been altered through artificial selection

a population with the smallest population size

Which of these scenarios is an example of natural selection?

Giraffes that have longer necks survive a dry season by eating leaves from the tops of trees. Those giraffes breed more successfully that year.

Farmers crossbreed two types of cows to produce a breed of cow that has high quality beef and can tolerate a hot climate.

People kill rattlesnakes that rattle when approached by humans, but people do not kill rattlesnakes that remain silent. The quiet snakes survive and breed.

After many generations, an insect species evolved resistance to a particular pesticide. According to natural selection, this occurred because spraying pesticides

selected for insects that were able to survive and reproduce

killed most of the insects in the population

caused mutations in the insect species’ gene pool

caused another insect species to go extinct

Which of the following situations is not an example of asexual reproduction?

An embryo developing from a zygote

A plant propagating from a root

Bacteria dividing by binary fission

Aphids are a common plant-pest insect. They alternate between asexual and sexual reproduction. During the summer, aphid populations grow quickly by asexual reproduction. As winter approaches, aphids switch to sexual reproduction. What advantage does the switch to sexual reproduction give the aphids?

Sexual reproduction increases variation in the population and provides for adaptability in a changing environment

Sexual reproduction maintains a constant level of variation in the population and requires less energy

Sexual reproduction decreases variation in the population and prevents the spread of harmful mutations

Sexual reproduction produces individuals that are clones and allows rapid population growth under stable environmental conditions

What is one disadvantage of sexual reproduction ?

Off spring are exact copies of parents

The male gamete is a ______. The female gamete is a _____. When the two gametes come together, it's called _____.

sperm, egg, asexual reproduction
