Question

in a population of plants used to large amounts of rain, one plant is specially adapted to survive on small amounts of water. what would happen if there was a season with little rainfall?
the population would be unaffected and would survive and reproduce normally.
all of the population would die off and make room for a new species of plants.
the adapted plant would survive and reproduce, and others would die causing evolution.

Explanation:

In a population of plants, when there is a season with little rainfall, the plant adapted to survive on small amounts of water has a survival advantage. According to the theory of natural selection, organisms with traits that are favorable in a particular environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. The other plants in the population (used to large amounts of rain) would struggle to survive in the low - rainfall conditions. As the adapted plant survives and reproduces, it can pass on its favorable traits (ability to survive with less water) to the next generation. This is a form of evolution through natural selection.

Answer:

The adapted plant would survive and reproduce, and others would die causing evolution.
