Atemperate deciduous forest is dominated by oak trees, which produce acorns. populations of deer, black bear, and squirrels all rely on the acorns as a primary source of food. a large portion of the forest is cut down, causing it to lose most of its oak trees. what is most likely to happen in the forest as a result?

a.
black bears, deer, and squirrels would undergo a mass extinction, so the forest's biodiversity would decrease.
b.
deer would become less likely to survive and reproduce, so their population would decline.
c.
squirrels would instantly adapt to the lack of acorns, so their population would remain stable.
d.
black bears would benefit from the space made available by the loss of trees, so their population would increase.

Chapter 11.1 & 11.2 notes section 11.1 1. every living thing has a set of ? inherited from its parents. 2. after becoming a ? , mendel spent several years studying ? and mathematics at the university of vienna. 3. during sexual reproduction, male and female reproductive cells join, a process known as ? . 4. pea flowers are normally ? , which means that sperm cells in pollen fertilize the egg cells in the ? flowers. 5. when mendel crossed plants with ? characters for the same trait, the resulting offspring had only one of the characters. 6. a ? is a specific characteristic, such as seed color or plant height, that varies from one individual to another. 7. filius and filia are the latin words for ? and ? . 8. the offspring of crosses between parents with different traits are called ? . 9.to mendel's surprise, all of the offspring had the character of only ? of the parents. 10. mendel's first conclusion was that biological inheritance is determined by ? that are ? from one generation to the next. 11. scientist calls the chemical factors that determine traits ? . 12. mendel's second conclusion is the ? . 13. the principle of dominance states that some alleles are ? and others are ? . 14. when mendel allowed the f1 plants to reproduce by self-pollination the traits controlled by ? alleles reappeared in about ? of the f2 plants in each cross.
