Two plant species found in a dry region of the western United States exhibit 1 point
vastly different abilities to survive. Species A has very slow stem growth
and few leaves but is very abundant (many). Species B has rapid stem
growth and many leaves but is very rare. Which hypothesis is most likely
supported by this information? *
1. Flower size and color may give species B an advantage over species A.
2. Reduced root growth may give species A an advantage over species B.
3. Leaf shape may give species B an advantage over species A
4. Reduced stem growth may give species A an advantage over species B.
