Which statement about biodiversity in coral reefs is accurate? (1 point)

Question

More new species have evolved in coral reef habitats than in most other types of habitats.
Coral reefs have much biodiversity, but most species that live there migrated from other habitats.
• Most organisms that live in coral reef habitats are zooxanthellae.
• Species that evolved in coral reef habitats always stay in those habitats.

Answer 1

The accurate statement about biodiversity in coral reefs is: More new species have evolved in coral reef habitats than in most other types of habitats.

Coral reefs are known as biodiversity hotspots, and they support a wide range of species, including many that are endemic to these ecosystems. While some species may migrate from other habitats, coral reefs have been a significant site for the evolution of new species.
