Question

Which of the following criteria have to be met for a species to qualify as invasive? Endemic to the area, spreads rapidly, and displaces foreign species Introduced to a new area, spreads rapidly, and displaces other invasive species Introduced to a new area, spreads rapidly, and displaces native species Endemic to the area, spreads slowly, and displaces native species

Answer 1

Introduced to a new area, spreads rapidly, and displaces native species.

Step-by-step explanation:

A species is invasive when they were not present in the area before, and once that they are there, they reproduce at a high peace. The fast reproduction rate, which leads to the spread of the species in the area, causes a disbalance in the ecosystem since it eats other species, which are native because they are from that area or other species' food. As a consequence, native species die or are reduced in number because the new species invaded their habitat.

An invasive species is not endemic because they are not native to that particular area. They are always external to this one.
