KO> O The diagram below represents four different species of bacteria. Species A Species B Species C Species D TTT Which statement is correct concerning the chances of survival for these species if there is a change in the environment? O Species C has the best chance of survival because it has no gene mutations. O Neither species B nor species D will survive because they compete for the same resources. O None of the species will survive because bacteria reproduce asexually. O Species A has the best chance of survival because it has the most genetic diversity. 1 4 7 8 10 Next O 1 N CH I O
Genetic modification (also called genetic engineering or rDNA technology) allows for the transfer of genetic material directly from one organism to another (across the species and kingdom barriers) at the molecular level. Why is this a controversial technology? Explain and cite two (2) concrete examples other than the enviropigs and aquadvantages salmon.
Identify whether each of the statements is an Observation or a Hypothesis to explain an observation. 1) Golden toads laid their eggs in shallow pools of water between the roots of cloud forest trees. 2) Golden toad tadpoles lived in shallow pools of water on the cloud forest floor before developing into toadlets. 3) Over warm ocean water, clouds form higher in the atmosphere. 4) Golden toads had highly specialized reproductive habitat. 5) Golden toads were found only in the cloud forest of Monteverde, Costa Rica. 6) The fossil record and current trends show that highly specialized species with small populations and narrow ranges are highly susceptible to extinction. 7) Spring 1987 was the driest spring on record for Monteverde. 8) All the golden toad tadpoles might have died during the spring of 1987 because their pools dried up before the young could lead a fully terrestrial life. 9) The drier conditions at Monteverde in 1987 might have been caused by…
Your friend remarks, "The giraffe stretched its neck while reaching for higher leaves; as a result, its offspring inherited longer necks” Which statement is the best response to correct your friend’s misconception? Group of answer choices Overproduction of offspring leads to a struggle for survival. Disuse of an organ may lead to its eventual disappearance. Characteristics acquired during an organism's life are generally not passed on through genes to its offspring. Only favorable adaptations have survival value.
The Red Queen hypothesis is popular in ecology because it explains well the interaction between two chess pieces, which is a metaphor for sexual selection among related species evolutionary arms race between trees and fish, where trees take up nutrients released by dying salmon evolution of spider web shapes in forests compared to those in grasslands effect of parasites on host population sizes and therefore effects on competitor species evolutionary arms race between parasites and hosts

The California mussel colonizes the patch later but within a few months have grown to a larger size than blue mussels. O The two species colonize the patch at the same time. The two species grow at the same rate initially, but then diverge. O The two species reach sexual maturity at the same age.
