Question

which dispersal pattern has organisms randomly dispersed throughout an area? uniform random

Explanation:

To determine the correct dispersal pattern, we analyze the definitions:

• A uniform dispersal pattern has organisms evenly spaced (e.g., due to competition or territoriality).
• A random dispersal pattern has organisms distributed without a predictable pattern (randomly throughout an area), with no strong attraction or repulsion between individuals and resources/spacing. The question asks for the pattern with organisms randomly dispersed, so "random" matches this description.

Answer:

random (the option labeled "random")
