Question

A scientist wants to observe how plants respond when growing in an overcrowded area. After 200 seedlings are planted close

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is A. "making future predictions about plant behavior "

Explanation:

The most important part of the question is "overcrowded area" which leads to the future concerned scenario of modern societies. We know that, in future, the supply of resources/nutrients will be limited and thus we want to develop sustainable practices. For this, scientists often carry out the experiments where the organisms are forced to live/grow in a crowded area and then we understand how each individual responds in the presence of limited resource supply. In this experiment, I perceive that the scientist is doing a similar kind of study for a specific plant which will help him assess the future concerns of growth and development for that species as well as its interaction with the environment.
