Biobeyond Unit 3: Birds and the Moths, Exams of Biology

A reading guide that provides 100% correct answers to questions related to the topic of birds and moths, specifically focusing on the concept of camouflage and its impact on the peppered moth population. The guide covers various aspects of the peppered moth's adaptation to changes in the environment, such as the impact of the industrial revolution on tree color and the subsequent changes in the moth's coloration. It also discusses the factors that can affect the peppered moth population, including predation and limiting factors, as well as the concept of ecological niche and selective pressures. The guide aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the topic and the processes involved in the adaptation of organisms to their environment.

what are limiting factors based on? - ✔✔the fact that organisms share environment and ecosystems with other organisms What is ecological niche - ✔✔Particular set of conditions that the organism thrives in and interacts with Selective pressures - ✔✔Factors that favor one segment of the population over others How do selective pressures act? - ✔✔Act over time to change the distribution of traits in an organism adaptation - ✔✔process of traits becoming more frequent in a population, response to selective pressures How can organisms like bunnies grow from one generation to the next? - ✔✔Exponentially Why is the world not overrun by bunnies if they grow exponentially? - ✔✔Limited food, shelter and water can limit the number of organisms living in an area. What factors can determine organisms that are best suited to survive - ✔✔Environment, food and predators How do adaptations emerge - ✔✔As a means of combating selective pressures put on a population. what is carrying capacity? - ✔✔the limit on a population: that is how many of an organism can survive in an environement
