Concept explainers
To determine:
The invasive species.
Introduction:
Invasive species or alien species can be a plant, animal or fungal species which is not native in a specific habitat but introduced in different habitats. Invasive species involve some natural predators,
To determine:
The reason why they are destructive.
Introduction:
Invasive species or alien species that are non-native in a specific habitat, but enters into different habitats. They have a tendency to spread in the habitat and damage the environment, human economy as well as the other species of existing habitat.
To determine:
The general adaptations that invasive species possess.
Introduction:
Invasive species are exotic species becomes invasive, bears a new environment and competes with native species to remove them. Invasive species multiply rapidly and may displace native species in a community.
