Introduction Biodiversity

All living and nonliving things that surround an animal are part of its

• food chain
• life cycle
• atmosphere
• habitat

Deer usually travel in groups of 2-3 sometimes more. How does staying in a group increase one deer’s chance to pass on his genes to the next generation?

• It increases the deer’s chances of survival.
• It protects the deer from the cold.
• It allows the deer to eat.
• It gives the deer time to think.

Biodiversity, aka biological diversity, usually refers to

• the same species in a general location

• the number of different species in a given area

• the number of animal species in a given area

• the number of plant species in a given area

Beneficial trait that allows an organism to be better suited for survival or reproduction 

• Natural Selection 
• Species
• Adaptation
• Classification 

A random change in a gene

• natural selection

Which below is TRUE?

• Generalist species occupy very narrow niches

• R- strategist species are very prone to extinction

• Specialist species have a limited diet

• K-strategists species give birth to numerous offspring with little parental care

• Generalist species can't make use of a variety of environmental resources

an evolutionary event in which a significant percentage of a population or species is killed or otherwise prevented from reproducing

• population bottleneck

• mutation

• genetic resistance

• differential reproduction

• genetic recombination
