Q5.14. In order to avoid extinction, species may respond to climate change in which of the following ways? Check all that apply: a. Moving to a new location b. Undergoing new genetic mutations c. Evolving in response to the new conditions d. Acclimating to the new conditions
Q5.15. Ectotherms are great model organisms for studying climate change because their temperature closely tracks that of their environment. True/False?
Q5.16. How would species distributions shift if the world were cooling instead of warming? a. Move poleward and uphill b. Move toward the Equator and downhill c. Contract everywhere d. Expand everywhere Species ranges would be unaffected
Q5.17. Populations have a better chance of adapting to climate change through evolution if climate change occurs slowly rather than quickly. True/False?
Q5.18. Populations have a better chance of adapting to climate change if their initial genetic diversity is high rather than low. True/False?
Q5.19. Populations have a better chance of adapting to climate change if their members live a long time and reproduce slowly than if they have a short generation time. True/False?
