During periods of rapid environmental change, what may happen to a species that was well-suited to the former environment?

Biology
1 answer:
Hunter-Best [27]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The environment usually refers to all the biotic and the abiotic components that are surrounding us. This environment undergoes changes depending upon various factors which can be natural and/or due to the anthropogenic activities.

When there occur rapid environmental changes, then it directly affects the lives of species, in different ways, such as-

  • Those species that are comparatively weaker in adapting according to the environmental changes that occur, will not be able to cope up with the new environment. They may become extinct.
  • Some variety of species will be able to adapt to the new environment because of their easily adapting capabilities.
  • The traits that will be developed within the species in the new environment will be more successful in terms of reproduction.
  • The previously existed traits may have a harmful impact in the newly formed environment.

What are some differences between the "Steady State" and "Big Bang" theories?

Which of the following denotes the divisions of the geologic time scale in correct order of decreasing lengths of time beginning
Stels [109]

Answer:

d. eon, era, period, epoch

Explanation:

The geological time scale has been made so that the scientists can have a practical system about the classification of geological time, thus everything that has happened throughout it. The geological time unites have been defined in accordance with important events that have happened, thus marking their end or beginning. These events can be mass extinctions, catastrophes, climate patterns, domination of certain species etc. The longest of these time units is the eon, lasting for more than half a billion years, and up to 2 billion years. The era comes as the second longest time unit, lasting for several hundred million years. The period lasts for several tens of million years, and the epoch is the smallest unit, lasting for few million years, or several hundred thousand years.

What evidence can be examined when determining common ancestry amongst hominids?
mars1129 [50]

We examined the biogeographic patterns implied by early hominid phylogenies and compared them to the known dispersal patterns of Plio-Pleistocene African mammals. All recent published phylogenies require between four and seven hominid dispersal events between southern Africa, eastern Africa, and the Malawi Rift, a greater number of dispersals than has previously been supposed. Most hominid species dispersed at the same time and in the same direction as other African mammals. However, depending on the ages of critical hominid specimens, many phylogenies identify at least one hominid species that dispersed in the direction opposite that of contemporaneous mammals. This suggests that those hominids may have possessed adaptations that allowed them to depart from continental patterns of mammalian dispersal.
