The process when organisms with favorable traits are more likely to survive and have offspring which leads to a change in the population.
What is natural selection?
100
This type of reproductive isolation occurs when two species have different mating times.
What is temporal isolation?
100
Two words that can be used to categorize plants
What are autotrophs and producers?
100
The process when water vapor turns into clouds.
What is Condensation?
100
This biome is known for having low precipitation and high temperatures.
What is Desert?
200
This type of selection is illustrated on the graph
What is disruptive selection?
200
An example of this is when two species of deer are separated by an ocean.
What is geographic or ecological isolation?
200
This is the 3rd order heterotroph in this food web.
What is Eagle?
200
The process where fossil fuel is converted into carbon dioxide
What is combustion?
200
This biome is known for having high precipitation and high heat.
What is Tropical Rainforest?
300
An example of this type of selection occurs when dark colored rabbits are better able to camouflage and hide from predators than light colored ones.
What is directional selection?
300
This type of speciation occurs when two species are in the same location but have different mating habits.
What is sympatric speciation?
300
When a producer generates 35,000 joules of energy, the secondary consumer receives that many joules of energy.
What is 350 joules of energy?
300
An example of this is when a species of rabbits were introduced to Australia and began to outcompete with the native species for food and became overpopulated.
What is an invasive specie?
300
This biome is threatened by the converting of its land to farmland.

400
This type of evolution occurs when an organism from one population moves to a new population and brings its genes with it.
What is Gene Flow?
400
An example of this type of speciation is when some flowers are exposed to sunlight while others within the population are covered by shade. Overtime, they can no longer mate.
What is parapatric speciation?
400
The three primary consumers in this picture.
What are krill, herring and scallop?
400
Type of factors that include competition for food, spread of disease, and predators.
What are density dependent factors?
400
This biome is threatened by over frequent wildfires due to climate change.
What is Temperate Woodlands and Shrublands
or What is Chaparral?
500
This type of evolution occurs when the population size gets drastically reduced by chance (possibly due to natural disaster)
What is Genetic Drift?
or
What is Bottleneck Effect?
500
This type of speciation can also be known as the Founder's Effect
What is peripatric speciation?
500
When a tertiary consumer obtains 400 joules of energy, the producer must have made that much joules of energy.
What is 400,000 Joules of energy?
500
Two ways that allow for nitrogen fixation.
What are nitrogen-fixing bacteria and lightning?
500
This biome is categorized by their long, cold winter and short, mild summers.
What is Taiga?
or
What is Boreal Forest?
