FILL-IN-THE-BLANK
|
| Hadley Cells |
16. |
Large "cells" of air circulation that explain the general pattern of deserts at 300 N and S of the equator. |
| Linnaeus |
17. |
He is considered to be the "father of taxonomy" |
| Symbiosis |
18. |
This term means "living together" when generally translated, and refers to biological relationships. |
| Saprobic |
19. |
The general term for an organism which feeds on dead organic material, or dead organisms. |
| Taiga |
20. |
This biome is characterized by a predominance of large evergreen trees. |
| Specific Epithet |
21. |
Proper scientific names consist of two words – the first is the genus, and the second is this. |
| Phylogeny |
22. |
Our taxonomic system attempts to show this – the "evolutionary history" of an organism. |
| Temporal |
23. |
A specific type of reproductive isolation exhibited by two closely related species that have different breeding seasons. |
| Fungi |
24. |
The members of this kingdom are nonmotile, multicellular, eukaryotic organisms, that feed on dead organisms. |
| Postzygotic |
25. |
A general type of reproductive isolation in which the isolating mechanism works after gametes have fused. |

| TRUE-FALSE |
| F |
26. |

| F |
27. |
Reptiles are particularly abundant in the Coniferous Forest Biome. |
| F |
28. |
Behavioral Isolation is the most common type of reproductive isolation between species, and is usually the first type to form, but other types may develop later. |
| T |
29. |
The abundant vernal plant species of the temperate deciduous forest biome help to prevent "leaching" of minerals and nutrients out of the soil. |
| T |
30 |
For each step up the trophic pyramid, there is approximately a 90% loss of energy available to the organisms at that level. |
| F |
31. |
The mule is one example of zygotic inviability as a means of reproductive isolation. |
| T |
32. |
The centers of large continental land masses tend to be hotter and drier during the summer months, and colder and drier during the winter months, than nearby coastal areas. |
| F |
33. |
According to the interactive model of biological communities, only abiotic factors are involved in the development of communities. |
| T |
34. |
In general, prezygotic isolating mechanisms are more efficient than postzygotic isolating mechanisms for two closely related species. |
| T |
35. |
Predators may actually place a "selective pressure" on prey populations that results in the improvement of the prey species. |
