Sexual
What are the requirements of sexual reproduction
Egg and sperm from each parent (two parents)
What are the requirements of asexual reproduction?
One parent
Why is variation important in a population?
What is natural selection?
The process by which organisms become adapted to their environment over time.
What are the three resource management resource strategies that we talked out in this chapter?
Game management
Restoration
Translocation
What is the advantage of sexual reproduction?
genetic variation
What are the advantages of asexual reproduction?
Takes less time and energy
The amount of food and sunlight is an example of what kind of variation factor?
Environmental
What is the equation for natural selection
Variation + Differential reproduction + Heredity = Natural selection
What was the species that was discussed in the game management strategy?
Bobwhite quail
What are disadvantages of sexual reproduction?
Takes more time and energy
Have to have a male
What is the disadvantage of asexual reproduction?
No genetic diversity
What are the two genetic factors that cause variation?
Mutations
Recombination
What is an adaptation?
Changes that an organism makes that makes them better suited to their environment.
Preserving habitats, not using pesticides that kill organisms that help pollinate, and using prescribed fire to stimulate growth is an example of what resource management strategy?
Restoration
What are examples of organisms that reproduce sexually?
Some plants and fungi
Most fish, amphibians, and reptiles
Birds and mammals
What are the four types of asexual reproduction?
Binary fission
Budding
Parthenogenesis
Vegetative reproduction
What is it called when some individuals survive and reproduce at a higher rate than others in the same population.
Differential Reproduction
Give an example of an adaptation we went over in class.
grasshopper/camouflage
Sunflower/coloration
Turtle/shell
etc.
