How would reducing low-growing plants from an area impact a population of tortoises with two

Question

varieties of neck extension ability: short and long distance? (1 point)
O The variety of tortoises with the ability to extend their necks a long distance would go extinct.
O The proportion of tortoises that could only extend their necks a short distance would increase.
O The proportion of tortoises with the ability to extend their necks a long distance would increase.
O The variety of tortoises that could only extend their necks a short distance would go extinct.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be:

O The proportion of tortoises with the ability to extend their necks a long distance would increase.

This is because if low-growing plants are reduced, tortoises that can extend their necks long distances would have a better ability to reach food sources that are further away. This would give them a survival advantage, potentially leading to an increase in their proportion within the population over time.
