Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A collective of local subpopulations is known as a metapopulation. This term is used to describe a group of interbreeding individuals that are not necessarily confined to a single geographic location, but rather occupy a larger area consisting of a network of local subpopulations. The other options are not correct - a genet refers to an individual clone or genetic makeup, a ramet is a term used in plant biology to describe a clone of individuals that grow out from a single parent, and ecogroup is not a commonly used scientific term.
