Question

A scientist is studying a biome that experiences large seasonal fluctuations in both temperature and precipitation patterns.

Which of the following would best characterize the organisms that inhabit the biome?
Generalists would be most abundant, because the resources available would be constantly changing. (T/F)

Answer 1

The correct answer is "T" True.

Step-by-step explanation:

A generalists species is defined as a group of organisms that can survive in a wide range of environmental conditions and are able to use different resources of food and energy. Most generalists are omnivores, the classic example is the raccoon, a mammal that lives in different habitats at Central and North America. A biome that experiences large seasonal fluctuations in both temperature and precipitation patterns will have a wide range of environmental conditions, which will benefit the reproduction of generalists species.
