Question

The plants in a farm field have low biodiversity. Which outcome is most likely?
-the crop withstands extremes in weather, such as heavy rains or drought
-a disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field
-only a few animals visit the field to eat the plants
-the plants produce a variety of food crops, some more valuable than others

Answer 1

The most likely outcome of low biodiversity in a farm field is that **a disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field**. Low biodiversity means that the plants are more similar to one another, making them more susceptible to the same disease or pest, which can easily spread throughout the entire crop.
