Module 9S2 Changes in Populations
Unit Summary and Assessment
In your study of Unit D you worked at
- explaining how populations can change over time
- describing the ways that members of a population interact with each other and with members of other populations
- analyzing quantitatively how populations change over time
- analyzing the technologies used by society in controlling and managing populations
In Module 8 you explored the genetics of populations and how we can quantitatively measure the way populations change. You also investigated how many factors can interact to cause populations to evolve or remain stable.
In Module 9: Section 1 you described the relationships that exist between organisms, the mechanisms that organisms use to protect themselves from each other, and how the species make-up of communities changes over time in the process of succession.
In Module 9: Section 2 you looked at how population size and changes can be measured, interpreted, and the results of the studies applied to the control of population growth.
Together these modules help you to understand how both an individual’s contributions to the gene pool and the interactions within communities result in change over time.
