Question

the student notes that scotch broom appears to grow well in places where native plants do not grow well, even though native plants have had more time to adapt to those environments. create an explanation regarding scotch broom’s prevalence in the plant community of the pacific northwest. complete the sentence by selecting the correct answers from the drop-down menus. the patterns in scotch broom’s growth demonstrate that scotch broom possesses advantageous choose... traits that contribute to choose... prop m in comparison with proportions of other organ the same traits.

Explanation:

Scotch broom's growth advantage comes from heritable traits (genetically passed, allowing adaptation). These traits help it outcompete native plants, leading to higher proportional growth. Acquired traits aren't inherited, so heritable is correct.

Answer:

The patterns in Scotch broom’s growth demonstrate that Scotch broom possesses advantageous heritable traits that contribute to increased proportional growth in comparison with the same traits (in native plants). (For the drop - down: first choose "heritable", and the other blank related to growth proportion would likely be "increased" or similar, but based on the trait type, the key choice here is "heritable".)
