Answer

• Although they never met, the two scientists primarily responsible for our understanding of the link between adaptation and genetics.

Question

• Who are Mendel and Darwin?

Answer

• The classification categories for living things from least to most diverse.

Question

• What is species, genus, family, order, class, phylum, Kingdom, Domain?

Answer

• A species not in immediate danger of extinction, but at risk.

Double JEAPORDY

• How much do you wish to wager?

Double JEAPORDY Answer

• The variety of individuals in an ecosystem.

Double JEAPORDY Question

• What is species diversity?

Answer

Source of variation that allows populations to adapt to environmental changes.

Question

• What is genetic diversity?

Answer

• Non-native species.

Question

• What is introduced species?

Question

Answer

• What is when a small population repeatedly experiences interbreeding and genetic drift with loss of genetic variation being key?

Question

• Extinction vortex

Answer

• Large area filled with grasses, flowers and herbs- also known as the “bread basket of America”

Question

• What is the Temperate Grassland Biome?

Answer

Two biomes which are characterized by extreme temperatures and low biodiversity.

Question

• What are Tundra and Desert?

Answer

• May help moderate the greenhouse effect by consuming huge quantities of CO2 for photosynthesis and for building bicarbonate shells.

Question

• What are productive dense regions, “pastures” of Phytoplankton in the Oceans?

Answer

• The minimum population size at which a species is able to sustain its numbers and survive.

Question

• What is the minimum viable population (MVP)?

Answer

• A small area with a very high concentration of species and a large number of endangered and threatened species.

Answer

• The three focal points of population conservation

Question

• What are population size, genetic diversity and critical habitat?

Answer

• Development of land that does not limit future generations.

Question

• What is sustainable development?

Answer

Detoxifying polluted ecosystems using plants, fungi, and prokaryotes.

Question

• What is bioremediation?

Answer

• The use of organisms to add essential nutrients to a depleted ecosystem.

Question

• What is biological augmentation?
