To complete: The map which organizes some of the key concepts of conservation biology.
Introduction:
The key concepts and themes of conservation biology include:
Concept 1:“Prevention of the extinction of the endangered species”.
Concept 2: “Projects to restore and conserve ecology”.
Concept 3: “Bioremediation”.
Concept 4:“Formation of zoned reserves for the preservation of the species of plants and animals”.

Answer to Problem 1CC

Fig no.1 shows the completed map of the key concepts of conservation biology.
Fig.1: Key concepts of conservation biology.
Explanation of Solution
(a)
Correct answer: Species at risk of extinction.
Explanation:
The species of various plants and animals are preserved in various ecological habitats to prevent them from getting endangered and extinct. The branch of biology used to study this is called as “conservation biology”. Hence the correct answer is species at risk of extinction.
(b)
Correct answer: Restoration ecology.
Explanation:
The destruction of the habitat of animal and plant species due to pollution, hunting of animals, natural calamities like floods, afforestation or the cutting of the forests and over-grazing by animals causes the inability to breed. The branch of biology, which includes the reestablishment of the natural
(c)
Correct answer: Bioremediation.
Explanation:
The process of regeneration of the natural habitat, ecosystem, and preservation of the fertility of soil by planting trees leads to the preservation of the climate and habitat of the plants and animals. The study of this field of biology is called as “Bioremediation”. Hence, the correct answer is bioremediation.
(d)
Correct answer: Zoned reserves.
Explanation:
The preservation of the species of plantsand animals is done in the zoned reserves, where they are preserved by providing regular food and shelter. Hence, the correct answer is zoned reserves.

- Use the following information to answer the question(s) below. Martin Wikelski and L. Michael Romero (Body size, performance and fitness in Galápagos marine iguanas, Integrative and Comparative Biology 43 [2003]:376-86) measured the snout-to-vent (anus) length of Galápagos marine iguanas and observed the percent survival of different-sized animals, all of the same age. The graph shows the log snout-vent length (SVL, a measure of overall body size) plotted against the percent survival of these different size classes for males and females. Survival (%) 100- 80- 60- 40- 20- 0+ 1.9 T 2 2.1 2.2 2.3 2.4 2.5 2.6 2.7 Log SVL (mm) 19) Examine the figure above. What type of selection for body size appears to be occurring in these marine iguanas? A) directional selection B) stabilizing selection C) disruptive selection D) You cannot determine the type of selection from the above information. 3arrow_forward24) Use the following information to answer the question below. Researchers studying a small milkweed population note that some plants produce a toxin and other plants do not. They identify the gene responsible for toxin production. The dominant allele (T) codes for an enzyme that makes the toxin, and the recessive allele (t) codes for a nonfunctional enzyme that cannot produce the toxin. Heterozygotes produce an intermediate amount of toxin. The genotypes of all individuals in the population are determined (see table) and used to determine the actual allele frequencies in the population. TT 0.49 Tt 0.42 tt 0.09 Refer to the table above. Is this population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium? A) Yes. C) No; there are more homozygotes than expected. B) No; there are more heterozygotes than expected.
