Which of the following species would you most expect to be distributed according to a regular pattern?
a. termites
b. stingless bees
c. fish
d. creosote bushes

Respuesta :

The correct answer is option d. creosote bushes.

The plants, especially bushes have a more regular or uniform distribution as compared to the animals. The uniform distribution of the plants helps in the distribution of the nutrients and the space. Also, they cannot move so random distribution is rarely seen in bushes.

The small animals tend to live in groups, hence, they generally show clumped distribution. The large fishes or animals are generally randomly distributed as they cannot live in groups.

Creosote bushes species is distributed according to a regular pattern.

Further Explanation:

The regular pattern is defined as the uniform or non-random distribution of a species without any disturbance in the population. Regular or uniform pattern is seen in very less species because there is a frequent occurrence of genetic variation leading to non-uniform or random distribution of specie. For example, a small group of animals gives regular pattern but diverse or large group of animal gives random distribution leading to non- random pattern.

The Creosote bush plant mostly present in warm desserts (such as chihuahuan, Mojave and sonoran dessert). They are the most important and common plant in warm desserts. They have two very unique features that they can live without water for almost two years. Also, they produce same colonies which have the same genetic makeup. They have a very uniform or regular distribution of their species as compared to other animals. The uniform distribution or regular pattern provides equal distribution of nutrient, space and salts. The creosote bush even not moves randomly so it is very rare to see random distribution in this plant.
