What is a population boom? What is a population bust? Describe the boom and bust
cycles often observed in nature.

"Booms" characterized by rapid exponential growth are followed by
"busts," during which the population falls back to a minimal level. Example:
hares and lynx. Rapid hare population increase follows rapid decrease
because more food is available for the lynx and they hares get eaten
Convergent Evolution

, occurs when similar environments and natural selection produce similar
adaptations in organisms from different evolutionary lineages
How do we classify bacteria by gram-stain?

increases, pollution
