Answer:

The plants have the higher population density. This is because, when compared with that of the insects, the number of plant species per acre area is higher; 2800 compared to 683.3

Explanation:

The number of individual species per unit area of land is known as the population density. Population density describes how crowded or spaced out a given species is in a particular area. The higher the population density, the more crowded the species are and vice versa. The formula for calculating population density is given as:

Population density = Number of species/land area

Population density of the insects = 820/1.2 = 683.3 insects/acre

Population density of the plants = 560/0.2 = 2800 plants/acre

Therefore, the plants have the higher population density.

This is because, when compared with that of the insects, the number of plant species per acre area is higher.

Let's say someone dropped 100 lions in the African savanna and 100 lions in the mountains. The mountain lions would evolve and adapt differently than the savanna lions.

The mountain lions might develop lighter fur for camouflage or larger lungs to get more oxygen from the thinner air, and the savanna lions might have to be a lot stealthier since there's no cover in the open plains.

Radda [10]

<span>I belive the answer is D. Burbank's process did not involve environmental pressures to shape the outcome.

Burbank process is similar to natural selection because he will select the potato based on some traits. The trait would be big potato and resistant to disease. The genetic makeup will also favor those with the selected trait. This process should be faster.</span>
