  4. 3 Which of the following is adaptive radiation: A A species of moth eventually changes from ash/white to brown to avoid predators B A clown fish uses a anemone as shelter in a mutualistic relationship C A shift in the average speed on an antelope species in reaction to predators D Finches developing different types of beaks to feed on different food sources
  5. 4 Approximately how many species do we know exist on the planet: A 1.75 billion B 1.75 million C 10 million D 10 billion
  6. 5 Prior to the existence of humans, how many mass extinctions (over half of global species are wiped out) have occurred? A 3 B 5 C 20 D 42
  7. 6 Which of the following is a reason for the high amount of biodiversity found near the equator: A a variety of temperatures allowing for many different niches B a consistent topography allowing for many mountain-dwelling niches near fresh water lakes C a consistent daily amount of light to feed the base of the food chain D a consistent low temperature due to the specific heat of salt water
  8. 7 Using the provided charts, what assumption can be made about mankind's impact on larger species: A Human's development of industrial technology has caused a massive decline in species diversity. B Mankind's destructive hunting practices have only recently caused large-scale extinctions. C Mankind's pollution of the environment through the use of heavy metals & plastics has a direct association with the decline of larger species populations. D Human hunting practices are directly associated with an exponential decline in larger animal populations.
