Several different populations living together

A single living thing is called an organism. When an is by itself we call it an individual. When a group of individual organisms live together in one place we call it a population. A population is defined as a group of organisms from the same species that live together in the same area. A tree in my backyard has a population of five owls living in it. If a tree in your backyard also has owls, that makes two populations of owls. When populations of different species live together in one place we call it a community. A community is several different populations all living together. In backyard there is a population of owls, a population of squirrels, and one very friendly dog. Together, the owls, squirrels, and dog make up a community.



Hence, Different populations of organisms livng together in a given area are called community. So, the correct answer is ‘A community’.

What is it called when there are different populations in the same environment?

Key points. According to the biological species concept, organisms belong to the same species if they can interbreed to produce viable, fertile offspring. In sympatric speciation, groups from the same ancestral population evolve into separate species without any geographical separation.

What is a group of populations that interact in the same geographic area at the same time?

A biological community is a group of interacting populations that occupy the same geographic area at the same time.

What do you call a group of different species?

Understanding: • A community is formed by populations of different species living together and interacting with each other. • A community forms an ecosystem by its interaction with the abiotic environment. Species: A group of organisms that can potentially interbreed to produce fertile, viable offspring.

What will occur if a species is divided into two groups and allowed to reproduce in different environments for many generations?

It will occur speciation. It will occur some sort of allopatric speciation. Explanation: When the original species is divided and placed under different environments, where they can reproduce for many generations, many changes or mutations will occur in each group.

What do you call a group of organism of the same kind that work together in habitat?

A population is a group of living organisms of the same kind living in the same place at the same time. All of the plant and animal populations living in a habitat interact and form a community. The community of living (biotic) things interacts with the nonliving (abiotic) world around it to form the ecosystem.

What do you call a group of populations?

Group of one species living together is called population. Group of populations living in an area is called community. Group of populations living in an area plus the environment around them is called ecosystem. What term refers to a group of populations living in a given area?

What is the difference between a population and a community?

population – A group of organisms of the same species living in the same area at the same time, and which are capable of interbreeding. community – A group of populations living and interacting with each other in a common habitat.

What is the term for group of organisms of the same species living?

They maybe of similar or of different kinds , who belongs to the common habitat. Sometimes they may also live in different kind of habitat wherein a specie’s feature may vary. Keeping this in consideration, what is the term for a group of different species living and interacting together in a given area?

Which is branch of biology deals with interactions between organisms?

The branch of biology dealing with interactions among organisms and between organisms and their environment is called. ecology. All of the members of a particular species that live in one area are called a(an) population. You just studied 45 terms!
