Biodiversity decreases, and the overall health of the ecosystem decreases.
Answer: Option D
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a niche when two different species occupy a niche competition arises between them. In due course both the species fight for existence and nature selects the best adaptable one to win. The other species either reduces in its population or gradually in struggle for existence they deteriorate and die.
Hence a decrease in bio diversity happens here due to natural selection. If the biodiversity is decreased in a particular niche it affects the growth of different species which in turn affect the whole ecosystem resulting in decrease of the overall health in an ecosystem.
B because it’s talking about the tree itself. Saying that it’s plants would divert it to a different plant. The cells of the wood is what makes the tree and is relevant to the question
Answer:
Basal meristems
Explanation:
Meristems are the portion of plants able to generate any kind of new tissues. Therefore, the way plants keep their meristems protected is related to climate adaptation.
Grasslands tend to be arid ecosystems, so grasses have developed basal meristems, meaning they spend the dry season very close or under soil, where water evaporates slowlier than above surface, until wet season allows meristems to generate new stems and leaves.
This disposition is also useful in cases of fire and grazing, which are also frecuent in grasslands.
