A population is all the organisms of one species in a habitat.
1 of 9
What is the definition of a 'community'?
Populations of different species form a community.
2 of 9
What is a 'Niche'?
Species occupies a niche governed by adaptation to both biotic and abiotic conditions in the habitat.
3 of 9
What is the equation for mark-release-recapture technique?
.
4 of 9
What are the principles of the Hardy-Weinberg equation?
The frequency of alleles will stay constant from one generation to the next; Providing no mutation or migration
5 of 9
Succession occurs in natural ecosystems. Describe and explain how succession occurs.
Colonisation by pioneer species; Change in environment; Enables other species to colonise; Change in diversity; Stability increases; Climax community established
6 of 9
What are the advantages of using biological agents as pest controls?
Specific to one pest; Only needs one application; Maintains low population; Pests do not develop resistance; Does not leave chemical in environment; Can be used in organic farming
7 of 9
What are the disadvantages of using biological agents as pest controls?
Does not get rid of pest completely; May become a pest itself; Slow acting (lag phase)
8 of 9
Explain the process of speciation.
Geographical isolation; Separate gene pools; Variation due to mutation; Different environments and selection pressures; Selection for advantageous features; Differential reproductive success; Leads to change in allele frequency; Long period of time
