Some of the key terms in community ecology are Intraspecific Interaction, interspecific interaction, competitive exclusion, mutualism.
<h3>
What is community ecology?</h3>
- Community ecology aims to provide solutions to these and other community-related concerns.
- An ecological community is a collection of organisms that coexist or may coexist in a given area. Communities are connected by a shared environment and a web of relationships between the many species.
- An ever-expanding and comprehensive area of ecology is community ecology. Ecologists look at the variables that affect species distribution, community structure, and biodiversity. Interactions with the abiotic environment and the wide variety of interactions that take place between species are two examples of these elements.
- The foundation of the majority of community ecology study is species interactions, such as competition, predation, herbivory, parasitism, and mutualism.

Explanation:
A. Zebra mussels are located in the areas of the United States that they were introduced to but it continues to spread across the US as time progresses.
B. Since the Zebra mussels can attach itself to solid surfaces, boats are no exceptions. They are able to go a few days out of water which gives them enough time to remain attached until a boater takes the vessel to another lake or isolated body of water.
C. Since these are filter feeders they are growing without a natural predator since they are an invasive specie. They feed on the algae in the water and use up almost all of this food supply and makes resources for other native specie (fish) that depend on this food source to die out.
D. Burmese pythons in the Florida everglades are an invasive specie. The prey on endangered species, have no real predator and have voracious feeding habits that affect the numbers in the animal population.
E. Non- native mongoose was introduced on Jamaica to control the snake population. The problem with introducing a non native specie would be that this new organism is also without a natural predator. After the target specie has been eliminated it may try to feed on other animals in the ecosystem as well.
F. Invasive species need to adapt to weather conditions and should be able to hunt/acquire its food in order to survive in its new environment.
A) DNA fulfils all three conditions:
<span>(1) copy itself precisely - in the process of replication, DNA copies itself and two molecules of DNA are formed. This process is very precise thanks to the great number of proteins involved in these process that prevents error occurring and proteins that can fix the error if it occurs.
(2) be stable but able to be changed - DNA is very stable molecule otherwise, it cannot be a genetic material. However, its chains can separate in a short length so the translational machinery can attach to it and the process of transcription can occur. Also, in crossing over, during meiosis, </span>the exchange of genetic material occurs and chromosomes change a bit.<span>
(3) be complex enough to determine the organism’s phenotype - it contains a number of genes responsible for different traits. All of this results in the </span>organism’s phenotype.
B) DNA copies itself. <span>Meselson and Stahl conducted the experiments on DNA replication in which they used </span>E. coli<span> bacteria as a model system. After they labelled all bacteria's DNA with heavy 15N by using medium with heavy 15N, they switched bacteria to medium with light 14N. After several generations, all bacteria's DNA was labelled with light 14N. This experiment evidenced that the self-replication of DNA is semi-conservative process.</span>
