Adapting to Climate Change: Evolution and Human Intervention

What is a primary reason for the need to adapt to climate change?

• To cope with environmental changes

• To change the weather patterns

• To improve technology only

• To increase global temperatures

Which process allows species to adjust to environmental changes over time?

• Pollution

• Evolution

• Deforestation

• Urbanization

What type of changes have been observed in animals due to climate change?

• Changes in body sizes and breeding times

• Changes in sleeping patterns

• Changes in migration to urban areas

• Changes in color of their habitats

Why are scientists interested in heritable evolutionary changes?

• They can't be passed to offspring

• They are less important for survival

• They are temporary

• They provide long-lasting adaptation benefits

What advantage does the brown color morph of the tawny owl have?

• Enhanced hearing abilities

• Better night vision

• Improved flight speed

• Better camouflage in less snowy environments

How have pitcher plant mosquitoes adapted to warmer temperatures?

• By flying longer distances

• By entering dormancy later

• By entering dormancy earlier

• By changing their color

What is a significant challenge faced by many species due to climate change?

• Survival in changing conditions

• Learning new languages

• Evolutionary changes

• Relocation to urban areas

What role do humans play in helping species adapt to climate change?

• Removing all animals from the wild

• Observing changes only

• Creating protected areas and aiding species migration

• Stopping all climate changes

Why is it crucial to set aside critical climate refuges?

• To promote tourism

• To help species survive by providing suitable habitats

• To increase land value

• To build new cities

What is the ultimate goal of preserving biodiversity according to the video?

• To maintain ecosystems that support human life

• To increase global awareness

• To enhance scientific research

• To create new species
