Explain how captive breeding can help with endangered species recovery, and give an example. Now explain why cloning could never be, in itself, an effective response to species loss.
Tracks of mammals are another non-invasive method of identifying and gaining data about different mammal species.
What can ecologists, environmental scientists, and other biologists learn from collecting tracks in a field situation? What are potential issues or problems with data gained from tracks?

- Why might captive-breeding programs that reintroduce species into natural environments fail?arrow_forwardScientists discovered a new species of fish. Using gel electrophoresis, they analyzed samples of DNA from the new species and from four known fish species. The figure below shows the bands of fish DNA from the gel electrophoresis. GEL ELECTROPHORESIS RESULTS FROM FIVE SPECIES OF FISH New Species Known Known Known Species Species Species A Known Species B C D KEY Bands in the Gelarrow_forwardA student lists statements about how a species adapts to the environment. One statement needs to be edited for accuracy. 1. Variation in a species occurs from predictable mutations. 2. Variation exists in the phenotypes of the species. 3. Physical characteristics influence an organism's ability to utilize resources. 4. Physical characteristics affect an organism's ability to reproduce. Which statement should be edited, and what should the change be? O Statement1-Variation in a species occurs from random mutations. O Statement 2-Variation exists in the genes of the species. Statement 3-Physical characteristics influence an organism's ability to find resources. O Statement 4-Behavioral characteristics affect an organism's ability to reproduce.arrow_forward

- A subpopulation of a species of birds migrates to a different location from the rest of the species for breeding purposes. How might the genes change in the subpopulation? A. Their genes would change randomly and eventually revert to normalcy, which would allow the subpopulation to return to the main population. B. Their genes would change to better allow them to survive and reproduce in their new location. C. Their genes would not change at all and they would merely be a subpopulation living in a different location. D. Their genes would change so that they would continue to be well-adapted to their former location.arrow_forwardExplain how conservation genetics is used to understand problems faced by speciessuchas the Florida panther.
