Question 3:

View the Biome Explorer in the topic materials. Click on an ecosystem and a scenario. How might this scenario affect the genetic diversity of the population? Would this be good or bad for the population? Then explain another topic (not listed in the scenarios) that can impact a species population within the ecosystem. Why?

Question 4:

Species differ greatly in birth and death rates, survivorship, and life spans. There must be advantages and disadvantages in living longer or reproducing more quickly. Why hasn’t evolution selected for the most advantageous combination of characteristics so that all organisms would be more or less alike?
