1. Answer: C
Explanation: Species that are inclined to clumping means they are more likely to cooperate in tasking such as gathering food. However, evenly distributed population means there is competition between individuals hence the need to their own space and territory from the other individual.
2. Answer: B
Explanation: While the clumped up populations may be inclined to cooperate in tasks such as food gathering, such distribution results to increases intraspecies competition especially during scarcity. This is because the individuals are close together – which is also advantageous during mating season.
3. Answer: A
Explanation: Type 3 survivorship curve is characterized by a high mortality rate early in the life of the species which gradually progresses to a low mortality rate for the individuals that survive the early stages of life. These species, therefore, bear a lot of offspring most of which will not make to adulthood.
4. Answer: B
Explanation: If the death rate of a population is higher than the birth+ immigration rate, then the population must be decreasing. This can be demonstrated by a growth curve of a population such as that of bacteria. The population starts decreasing due to increased competition for reduced resources after reaching carrying capacity - depicted by the stationary phase.
Answer: Is a group of organisms of the same species that interbreed for example a group of robins in North America
Fragmentation is the breaking of the body into parts and then the organism develops all the parts of the body. The fragmentation is the type of reproduction in lower organisms. The fragments which are produced can develop into new organisms.
The right option is; c. biomes
Savanna is considered a transitional biome because it is intermediate between two biomes.
A savanna is a tropical grassland ecosystem that is characterized by widely spaced scattered trees. Savanna is an extensive plain that is regarded as a transitional biome because it is intermediate between moisture equator forests and tropical deserts. It covers about 20% of the earth’ surface. Savanna has seasonal water availability and during the dry season, there are strong evaporation which makes the trees such as baobab to shed their leaves while bushes and grasses wither.
