Question

List three different causes of the reduction in US wolf populations seen in the late 1800s and early 1900s. (Dont be tempted to use "man" as a cause. If you do, you wont have enough answers. State what man has done instead.) List 3 different impacts that the loss of wolves had on Yellowstone National Park. How long has it been since the reintroduction of wolves to the park occurred? Have there been significant effects on the ecosystem due to the reintroduction? Describe the differences between acclimation and adaptation. Which of the above can an individual organism do? Do species differ in their ability to acclimate to environmental change? Would this ability to acclimate be a genetically controlled attribute?

Explanation / Answer

17. The differences between acclimation and adaptation are :

i) Acclimation is temporary while adaptation is permanent.

ii) Acclimation occurs due to small changes in the habitat but adaptation is an important process for survival of the species.

iii) Acclimation is only a physical reaction to habitat changes but adaptation causes both physical and chemical changes in the body.

An individual organism can do both adaptation and acclimation.

Yes, there are differences among species in their ability to acclimate to environmental change.
