Ena claims that the reason that tree grow taller in the rainforest is because of their genetics. Lori says that the trees grow taller in the rainforest because of environmental conditions. Whose explanation is best supported by evidence? (a) Ena’s explanation is correct because the environmental conditions in the rainforest do not encourage plant growth, so therefore it must be genetics (b) Lori’s explanation is correct. The environmental conditions in the rainforest ecosystem promote excessive growth in tree species (c) Ena’s explanation is correct. The trees in rainforests are genetically predisposed to being taller than trees elsewhere (d) Both explanations are correct. Trees have developed genetic traits for height based on the environmental conditions in the rainforest ecosystem.
