Newest Update, 2025-2026.
Terms in this set (86)
Biodiversity The variety of life, and can refer to: habitat, species and
genetic diversity, etc..
Developmental Diversity Differences in cells within the body
Genetic Biodiversity Differences in genes
Geographical Biodiversity Differences in life between geographical regions
Vast Number in species of There are between 1.5 and 2 million named species of living
life things on earth. Plants-300,000 Fungi-100,000
Bacteria and Protista-100,000 Vertebrates-50,000
Insects-950,000
Species A population or group of populations of organisms that are
very similar to one another(share a recent evolutionary
history)
Important components of The ability to interbreed
species
Lennean system of Binomial names(two names)
classification
Genus Species ex. Homo sapiens(humans)... homo is the genus name and
sapiens is the species
Species Richness The number of species occurring in a particular area
combination of number of species and relative number of
Species Diversity
individuals of each species
, Diversity of species Species are NOT spread evenly throughout the world, ex.
throughout the world tropical areas typically have more species than temperate
ones
Ecosystems Combination of both biotic and abiotic factors
Ecosystem Services Something such as oxygen, fresh water, or food that is provided by
an ecosystem by its species
Genomics The new use of the comparative method
Genome entire set of genetic material in a cell
Allele particular version of a gene
Source of Genetic variation individuals having different alleles
Human Impact on Is negative due to human interactions such as pollution,
biodiversity agriculture, etc
World Event taking place due Going into the world's 6th mass extinction event. current
to negative human impact on extinction rates are between 10 and 100 times higher than
biodiversity those estimated from the fossil record
Populational thinking -Is a way of looking at the world. Views people,
animals, bacteria, cities,etc. as being parts of a
population of similar things
-Individuals are being influenced by many factors so it can be
hard to say the cause of something is
Typologically assigns different things to categories
Evolution based on the variation with natural selection being the
primary mechanism of evolution. characteristics that help
organisms surviveand reproduce will become prevalent in that
environment.
Three that must take place -competition(more born than survive)
for evolution to occur -inheritance(pass traits to offspring)
-variation(individuals all have different traits)
