What can be said about the diversity of life in the high tide zone compared to that of the low tide zone?

a. there is more biodiversity in the high tide zone because there is plenty of sunlight.

b. there is less biodiversity in the high tide zone because the tidal changes make survival difficult.

c. there is more biodiversity in the high tide zone because the waves bring additional nutrients to the area.

d. there is less biodiversity in the high tide zone because there is less water here than in other regions shown.

B. There is less biodiversity in the high tide zone because the tidal changes make survival difficult.

Explanation:

The high tide and low tide zones are located on the seashore as the ocean water merges with land.

High tide zones are usually covered with water during high ocean tide while low tide zones are always submerged in water.

There is low biodiversity in the high tide zone because the tide here changes rapidly and organisms find it difficult to adapt. Organisms that inhabit here must be welll adapted to withstand peroids of high tides.

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good

the correct answer is b
