4) The fourth temperate biome has low diversity of species. It is dominated by robust, evergreen trees that can grow to over 100 m tall. A) temperate rainforest B) temperate seasonal forest C) woodland or shrubland D) temperate grassland or cold desert 5) Why do distantly related species of plants in different parts of the world often assume similar growth forms when they experience similar climates? A) Plants that have similar traits descend from the same recent common ancestor. B) Long-distance dispersal allows plant species to interbreed and acquire similar traits. C) Similar selection pressures cause convergent evolution of species in separate lineages. D) Plant growth forms are plastic and can change with environmental conditions. 6) How do scientists expect increasing global temperatures to affect the distributions of Earth's biomes? A) Biomes are predicted to remain stable because most species have a range of environmental conditions in which they can thrive. B) As climatic conditions change, scientists predict that many plant species will become extinct, but animal species will be able to move to new areas. C) The animal species of each biome will migrate to new areas as the climate changes, but plant species will remain stable. D) Scientists predict some biomes will shift locations, whereas other biomes will remain in place but have changes in species composition.
