  8. Two plant species found in a dry region of the western United States exhibit vastly different abilities to survive. Species A has very slow stem growth and few leaves but is very abundant. Species B has rapid stem growth and many leaves but is very rare. Which hypothesis is most likely supported by this information?

    9. Your answer:
    Flower size and color may give species B an advantage over species A.
    Leaf shape may give species B an advantage over species A.
    Reduced root growth may give species A an advantage over species B.
    Reduced stem growth may give species A an advantage over species B.
