Several scientists travel to a remote coast to study the biodiversity of the area. How could the scientists calculate the species richness of the ecosystem? A. counting the total number of different species

B. calculating the number of organisms in each trophic level

C. counting the total number of individual organisms

D. calculating the number of producers in the area

A. counting the total number of different species

Explanation:

The only way to calculate the species richness in the ecosystem is counting the total number of different species. This is basically what species richness is, therefore it would be the best way to calculate it. Species Richness does not require that the scientists take into account the population of each species instead, each unique species found is counted as 1 towards the calculation of species richness.

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
