Imagine walking through a tropical rainforest. You notice that there are different types of trees, birds, insects, and other org

anisms. A few weeks later you are taking a walk through the desert and notice that the trees, birds, insects, and other organisms are different than those you saw in the rainforest. Which of the following statements best explains the differences between each of these ecological systems?
A. Organisms in each ecological system have short dispersal distances and are confined to the area where they mate.
B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.
C. Organisms in each ecological system haven't had enough time to evolve the adaptations for the other ecosystem; with enough time they will evolve into the other ecological system.
D. Organisms in each ecological system are there by chance and their presence in different ecological systems does not have a biological explanation.

Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

According to natural selection theory, organisms need to continuously adapt and evolve within an environment or risk being wiped away from that environment.

Organisms that are not able to adapt to an environment are gradually replaced by those that have the capability to adapt and survive in that environment.

Those that are able to survive go ahead to reproduce and give rise to offspring with inherent ability to survive while those that cannot survive die off.

The correct option is B.

Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

Every organism lives in a habitat, within which it lives in an ecosystem best suited for its need. An organism needs food, water and a favorable weather to live. For an organism to survive in an ecosystem, it needs to adapt to the conditions in that ecosystem, else it dies. Therefore, different types of organisms in different systems will have varying characteristics.

This is linked to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution which implies that all organism in an ecological system evolve heritable traits suited for their environment.

Which statement bestexplains the effect an adaptation has on an organism?
-BARSIC- [3]

A trait that evolved and was selected by natural selection for its current function is known as an adaptation. Any hereditary traits that improve an organism's likelihood of survival benefit from adaptations. Option C is the appropriate response in this case.

In order to survive in their environment and function better under the conditions there, plants and animals have modified their physical characteristics or behaviours. The strongest and most advantageous traits or adaptations are handed on to the following generation, ensuring the survival of the plants or animals. Examples of adaptations include a camel's capacity for water storage, polar bears' use of their white fur to blend into the ice, and chameleons' capacity to change colour to evade predators. The process of change that occurs to animal and plant species over a long period of time, or how plant and animal species have evolved from one another, is known as evolution.

Therefore, we can conclude that adaptations aid any hereditary traits that improve an organism's chances of survival.
