Question

A ________ is a single species in an environment.
A) microhabitat
B) population
C) colony
D) biome
E) guild

Accepted Answer

A population refers to a group of individuals of the same species living in the same area and interacting with each other. A microhabitat is a small-scale habitat within a larger habitat. A colony refers to a group of individuals of the same species living together, but it can also include different types of individuals, such as worker ants and a queen ant. A biome is a large-scale terrestrial ecosystem characterized by specific climate and vegetation types. A guild is a group of species that exploit the same type of resources in similar ways. Therefore, the best choice for a single species in an environment is a population.
