Imagine walking through a tropical rainforest. You notice that there are different
types of trees, birds, insects, and other organisms. 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?
Organisms in each ecological system are there by chance and their presence in
different ecological systems does not have a biological explanation.
Organisms in each ecological system have short dispersal distances and are
confined to populations in the area where they mate.
Organisms in each ecological system have not had enough time to evolve the
adaptations for the other ecosystem; with enough time they will evolve into the
other ecological system.
Organisms in each ecological system have not had enough time to evolve the
adaptations for the other ecosystem; but exhibit…

a.describe a cause-and-effect relationship
b.describe a pattern, measurement, or observation in nature
c.describe a scientific model
d.describe a tool or process for scientific research
e.something else
