Question 1

Question
What is the main way we see if two organisms are the same species?
Answer

  • if they can produce fertile offspring
  • if they look the same
  • if they live in the same habitat

Question 2

Question
A habitat can thought of as literally where an organism [blank_start]lives[blank_end]. A population is the number of interbreeding individuals of the [blank_start]same species[blank_end] found in an area A community is the number of [blank_start]various populations[blank_end] in a habitat.
Answer
  • lives
  • breeds
  • same species
  • same phenotype
  • various populations
  • all the animals

Question 3

Question
An 'ecological niche' is how an organism gets what they need out of their environment; it means that two organisms can occupy the same habitat and not be in competition.
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 4

Question
Select the two statements that best define 'adapted' organisms
Answer
  • being able to exploit their own environmental niches
  • being able to find food quickly
  • specific behavioural, physiological, or anatomical changes to suit their needs/environment
  • how organisms have evolved to suit their surroundings

Question 5

Question
Behavioural adaptations are [blank_start]actions[blank_end] that help organisms to [blank_start]survive and reproduce[blank_end]. Anatomical adaptations are the [blank_start]structures[blank_end] we see when we [blank_start]dissect or observe[blank_end] an organism. Physiological adaptations relate to the [blank_start]internal workings[blank_end] of organisms that help them survive and/or reproduce.
Answer
  • actions
  • survive and reproduce
  • structures
  • dissect or observe
  • internal workings

Question 6

Co-adaption is how a organism adapts to its environment when it changes, for example when seasons change
Answer
  • True
  • False

Question 7
