Two ecologists, Robert H. MacArthur and Edward Wilson, studied how organisms immigrate to islands and how their numbers change a

fter colonization. They developed the island biogeography model to explain the composition and diversity of island species. The graph below shows the number of species versus the size of the Caribbean island:
Use the Species by Area graph to answer the following:
Describe the relationship between species number and island size observed in the data.
Describe two additional factors that affect species richness on islands.

Scientists have found that most species on the same continent are more closely related to each other than to organisms on other continents. They hypothesize that this phenomenon is due to the evolution that occurred after the continents split apart, or in the case of island biogeography, after islands formed off the coast of mainland regions.
Explain the role of adaptive evolution in island biodiversity.
Describe one process that leads to speciation of islands.
Explain how the biodiversity of an island affects its ecological tolerance to change.
Explain how specialist species are affected when generalist species migrate to an island.

Island ecosystems experience ecological succession in different stages of their development.
Describe the process of primary succession on an island.
Describe the process of secondary succession on an island.
Identify two scenarios that lead to secondary succession on an island. Explain how these scenarios can affect island biodiversity.

Shalnov [3]

Question:

If a personality survey with high internal consistency includes two different questions related to the personality dimension of agreeableness, then which of the following is true?

 

A) It is impossible to predict how people will answer the second question based on how they answered the first question

B) If people give an extreme answer to the first question, they will tend to give the opposite extreme answer to the second question

C) People will tend to give dissimilar answers to both questions.

D) People will tend to give similar answers to both questions

E) If people give a moderate answer to the first question, they will tend to give an extreme answer to the second question

Answer:

The correct choice is A)  

Explanation:

The essence of having two different questions against a particular trait is to see to what degree the questions elicit the correct answer, (or help us understand the attributes of the test take). If it was possible to predict how both questions would be answered, then the purpose is defeated from the start.

Cheers!
