ou are on an expedition in a tropical rainforest. You notice a tall plant with large, long, conical purple flowers that produce

nectar. When you ask your guide about the plant, she pulls out a large pink fruit from her bag and explains that it is from the plant with the purple flowers. After tasting the fruit, you decide to bring the plant back home and cultivate it in a greenhouse. You remember seeing a particular butterfly on the purple flowers during your trip to the rainforest. After obtaining a few of these insects, you release them into the greenhouse. A few weeks later, the pink fruit plant is growing! In the process, though, a few butterflies have escaped. Is this an environmentally safe situation? Yes, the butterflies eat only nectar, so the ecosystem will not be disturbed. No, the butterflies may not have a natural predator in this environment; thus, they could displace native species that consume nectar. Yes, the butterflies will aid in the pollination of several flower species, thus benefiting the ecosystem. No, the butterflies could spread the pollen of the purple flowers to native plant species.

Answer:

No, the butterflies may not have a natural predator in this environment; thus, they could displace native species that consume nectar

Explanation:

The escaped butterfly are considered an exotic species in their new environment. Exotic species in a new environment can establish themselves and sometimes outcompete or have selectional advantage over native species in that environment, eventually displacing the native species.

<em>Hence, that some of the butterflies were allowed to escape into the environment is not environmentally safe for the native species in that environment.</em>

Veronica wrote Charles Darwin’s main points on the board, but she made a mistake in one point.
Leno4ka [110]

<span>The question above is incomplete, the remaining part of the question is given below:
1. Since more offspring are produced than an environment can support, organisms within a population must compete for resources to survive.

2. Due to variations within the population, some competitors will be better equipped for survival than others.

3. The best-equipped organisms will survive and will produce well-equipped offspring. 

4. Variations that help with survival will be passed on to future generations and will rapidly change the whole population.

Which point is flawed as written above?
A. point 1
B. point 2
C. point 3
D. point 4</span>

ANSWER

The correct option is D.

All the options written above about Darwin's theory are quite correct with the exception of option D. Charles Darwin was the scientist who proposed the theory of evolution by mean of natural selection. Darwin submitted that, due to the scarcity of needed resources in an environment, it is only the fittest individuals in a particular population that will be able to survive and produce offspring that share their adaptability features. As this continue from generation to generation, it leads to evolution, which is defined as the changes overtime, which give rise to new species that share a common ancestors. Contrary to the point made in option D, evolution by natural selection is not a rapid process at all, it is a process that occur over a long period of time.
