Question

Please answer the following question:

Imagine that you are planting a garden, and you have collected and then planted some plants. The plants are all of the same species, and they constitute a new population. You count how many you have planted in each of three height categories, and you produce the graph titled "Height Distribution." You also keep track of how many seeds each plant in your population produces. You plot a graph of seed number versus plant height, and you title that graph "Reproductive Output." Height Distribution Reproductive Output 40 110 90 . 70 50 10 10 0-5 5-10 10-15 10 15 Plant height (cm) Plant height (cm)

Explanation / Answer

Graph A is the correct graph since when compared with the reproductive output the number of seeds produced by the plants that have grown from 0-5 cm are the maximum and it gradually decreases with increase in height.
