Separation and collision of continental plates
Separation of continental plates
None of the above
What is reproductive isolation?
Phenomenom in which species have too many offspring
Phenomenom in which species cannot produce offspring
None of the above
The number of species on in earth is not constant because:
Species never change their number of individuals
Species are being formed all the time but also dissapearing
None of the above
Background Extintion Rate is
The natural extinction rate of all species per year
The natural extinction rate of mammals per year
The natural birth rate of all species per year
A current species has two possibilities for the future:
Evolve to a new species or become extinct
Become extinct or remain the same species
Evolve to a previous species or become extinct
The numerical value of the background extinction rate is
106 species ⋅ year1 species extinct
106 species ⋅ year10 species extinct
106 species ⋅ year100 species extinct
What is a mass extinction?
Any event in which 75% off all species on Earth dissapear
Any event in which 15% off all species on Earth dissapear
Any event in which 5% off all species on Earth dissapear
We are currently living in the:
5th mass extinction
2nd mass extinction
6th mass extinction
Scientist do not know exactly how many species there are. They only know that there are
1,8⋅106 described species
1,8⋅103 describes species
None of the above
Outline the reasons for unknowing the total number of species on Earth
