Ecological factors that limit the range of mammals of your choice (marsupials) that currently limit the potential range or may affect the group in the future. And recommendations that would ensure the success of the mammal group.
Introduction:
Ecosystem consists of the biotic and abiotic factors that together affect any organism’s life.
To survive, an organism undergoes several modifications and changes to increase high chances of survival.
Explanation of Solution
Marsupials are a particular group of mammals that carry their younger ones in pouches until they are capable of surviving on their own. Marsupials include kangaroos, wombats and opossum.
Marsupials used to occur all around the world, but currently, they inhabit very few regions of the world.
The ecological factors that affected the marsupials were many. Habitat loss caused the marsupials to shift to smaller and smaller regions. Many native species became extinct due to the same reasons.
Chances of becoming prey are high for marsupials. This predation pressure also led to a decline in the population of marsupials.
Very little is known about the suitable climatic conditions necessary for the survival of marsupials, therefore, they are not easy to be maintained in artificial surroundings, like zoos.
To ensure the success of marsupials, a number of factors can be taken into account. Better understanding must be developed about the lifestyle and behavior of the marsupials. The habitat that is most suitable for them must be protected. Organisms that are predators for marsupials and can survive in a wide range of habitats must be separated from the marsupials.
The given map represents the worldwide distribution of mammals. The shaded region on the map represents the areas where the marsupials are present.
Thus, marsupials are a very unique group of mammals. They are very unique and survive in limited environmental conditions only.

- Question #4: Assume you are able to use CRISPR to create an allele that will convert a cross-pollinated, sexually reproducing crop plant into an obligate apomict. Your edited obligate apomict plants retains all the CRISPR "machinery" necessary to convert the "sexually reproducing" allele to the "obligate apomict" allele. You plant 100 hectares of your edited obligate apomicts in order to increase seed for sale the following year. Neighboring farms and seed producers are growing many different un-edited sexually reproducing varieties of the crop. If your neighbors plant seed harvested from their crops that was pollinated by your crop, should they expect these seeds to generate apomictic or non-apomictic plants?
