Distinguish between Natural Selection and Artificial Selection.
Natural Selection occurs to develop traits to increase reproductive fitness whereas artificial selection is used to increase traits useful to a breeder and needs human intervention.
1 of 9
Distinguish between Habituation and Cognition.
Habituation is learning to stop responding to a stimulus if the response brings no beenefit whereas cognition uses awareness, reasoning, recollection and judgement to solve problems.
2 of 9
Distinguish between Promiscuous and Monogamous Behaviour.
Promicuous behviour refers to having more than one mate in a breeding season or a diferent mate every year whereas monogamous behaviour refers to each individual mating only once.
3 of 9
Distinguish between Filial and Sexual Imprinting.
Filial imprinting is usually on the mother in the first few days of life to learn survival skills. Sexual imprinting is learning the characteristics of a suitable mate.
4 of 9
Distinguish between Kin Selection and Reciprocal Altruism.
Kin Selection is the mechanism of increasing inclusive fitness whereas Reciprocal Altruism is a specific method of kin selection.
5 of 9
Distinguish between Intersexual and Intrasexual Selection.
Intrasexual selection is competition between members of the same sex for mates, usually between males. Intersexual selection is the choice of mate of the opposite sex, usually females choose.
6 of 9
Distinguish between density-dependent and density-independent population regulation.
Density dependence is where the size of the population affects its growth whereas density-independence is where factors unrelated to density affect the growth of the population.
7 of 9
Distinguish between Exponential and Logistical Growth Models.
The exponential growth model is the ideal in which populations expand continuously whereas the logisitical model is more realistic where the population increases up to a carrying capacity.
8 of 9
Distinguish between Batesian and Mullerian Mimicry.
Batesian mimicry is where a palatable prey mimics a toxic model whereas in Mullerian mimicry toxic species mimic other toxic species.
