7. A mother and her child would be considered an example of a(n) _________________________________.(1 point)
[Choice A] community
[Choice B] population
[Choice C] ecosystem
[Choice D] biome
[Choice A] community
The correct answer is [Choice A] community. A community refers to a group of interacting populations that live and interact together in the same area, sharing resources and influencing each other's behavior. In this case, the mother and child form a small community within a larger human community.
To determine the correct choice for this question, we need to understand the definitions of the terms provided.
A community refers to a group of different species living together and interacting with each other in a particular area.
A population refers to a group of organisms of the same species, living in a specific area and capable of interbreeding with each other.
An ecosystem refers to a community of living organisms interacting with each other and their physical environment. It includes both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) components.
A biome refers to a large geographical area characterized by a particular climate, specific types of vegetation, and animal communities.
In this case, the relationship between a mother and her child does not fit any of these descriptions. The relationship between a mother and child is a family relationship, and is not a community, population, ecosystem, or biome.
Therefore, none of the choices provided (A, B, C, or D) accurately describes the relationship between a mother and her child.
