A mild winter and a warm spring meant that the population of robins (birds which feed on insects) increased. This was due to the above average biomass of insects, so more young robins survived. However the following winter was very cold so fewer insects were available in the spring, and the robin population decreased. Is the decrease in robin population, intraspecific competition or interspecific competition?

What is the word used to describe 'All the different populations in a habitat along with all the abiotic conditions'?

Natural selection can change allele frequencies over time, due to those with the best alleles surviving and reproducing. What is the term used to describe the 'chance' or 'random' selection of alleles in a population?

What type of speciation is caused by reproductive Isolation, but without a physical barrier between two populations?

What type of variation is show in the graph?

Which type of selection is when the number of individuals with a particular characteristic, increase around an extreme or outlier value?

Which type of selection is when the number of individuals with a particular characteristic, increase around a middle or mid value, and outliers decrease?

Tay Sachs is a recessive disease which leads to the build up of certain lipids which eventually become toxic. The Cajun community in the USA has an incidence of about 1 in every 3,500 births. What is the number of sufferers of Tay Sachs in a Cajun population of 100,000 people?

Drosophila fruit flies can have either vestigial wings (w)or wild-type wings (W). If 20% of the population have vestigial wings, what proportion of the population are homozygous dominant?
