Genetic Diversity
A change in the DNA structural level sequence of bases.
What is a mutation?
This type of species has a very wide range of survival mechanisms, for example the raccoon.
What is a generalist species?
High habitat diversity would result in increased diversity of these?
What are genes or species?
The burning of fossil fuels has this effect on the pH of water.
What is lowers?
Pollination would be this type of benefit to biodiversity.
What is a regulating benefit?
A narrowing of the genetic diversity among individual within a population.
What is genetic bottleneck?
This type of species has a very narrow range of survival mechanisms, for example the panda.
What is a specialist species?
High habitat diversity would support more of this type of species.
What is generalist species?
Deforestation results in the loss of these.
What are species and habitat?
Ecotourism is part of this category of benefits from biodiversity.
What is cultural benefit?
Genetic variations within a species that allows for survival, could be color patterns for example.
What is fitness?
Species diversity could be severely reduced with the introduction of this species?
What is an invasive species?
Minor disturbances in habitat would have this result on species and genetic diversity?
What results in little or no decrease?
The process of industrial agriculture results in this cropping.
What is monocropping?
This type of benefit would include medicinal resources.
Having an increase in this number would give a chance to increase the genetic diversity of a species.
What is population?
A high ________ often leads to high species diversity simply due to the number of different resources.
What is Habitat Diversity?
Major disruption to habitat diversity would result in this effect on genetic or species diversity?
What is greatly decrease?
The use of pesticides will potentially result in the loss of this.
What is species?
Local climate and air quality would come from this benefit of biodiversity.
What is regulating?
This event would end any genetic diversity.
What is extinction?
Species diversity could be decreased by ________ which could be caused new highway construction or other restrictions to location of resources.
What is Geographic Isolation.
The result of continued environmental stress on a habitat.
What is decreased habitat diversity?
This one action of humankind results in the specific reduction of genetic diversity.
What is genetically modified organisms (GMO)?
The cardinal greenway would be included in this benefit category.
What is cultural?
