What is Speciation?
A) Movement of a population from one area to another
B) Becoming part of an adopted species
C) Creation of a new species
Adaptation is an important component for species survival. Genes get selected for based on pressures. It is now
known that several species (bacteria, plants, and animals) adaptions potentially reflect a response to human
actions. Which of the following represent examples of how species are adapting to human behaviors? Choose all
that apply.
O Dandelions getting longer in areas that are constantly mowed
O Bacteria exhibiting antibiotic resistance
O The peppered moth expressing dark coloration genes during the industrial revolution
O Cholera bacteria becoming more mild when water sources are cleaner
You are a mad scientist tasked with the evil job of designing a novel species. This species will be introduced to an ecosystem and must cause as much damage as possible. What abilities and characteristics will you give this species to make it successful? Be sure to explain why you choose each aspect. Explain your choice in 3–5 sentences. Please answer ASAP
