Question

classify each plant trait into the correct category. decide whether they increase or decrease the likelihood of survival and reproduction. move each statement to the correct column. increases probability of survival and reproduction decreases probability of survival and reproduction bright, colorful flowers to attract pollinators thin, delicate leaves in desert climates shallow roots in areas with frequent droughts leaves with large surface areas in dry conditions thick, waxy leaves in dry environments deep root systems in drought - prone areas

Explanation:

Bright, colorful flowers attract pollinators which aids in reproduction. Thick, waxy leaves in dry environments prevent water loss. Deep root systems in drought - prone areas can access water deeper in the soil, all increasing survival and reproduction. Thin, delicate leaves in desert climates are prone to water loss. Shallow roots in areas with frequent droughts can't access enough water. Leaves with large surface areas in dry conditions lose more water, all decreasing survival and reproduction.

Answer:

Increases Probability of Survival and Reproduction: bright, colorful flowers to attract pollinators, thick, waxy leaves in dry environments, deep root systems in drought - prone areas
Decreases Probability of Survival and Reproduction: thin, delicate leaves in desert climates, shallow roots in areas with frequent droughts, leaves with large surface areas in dry conditions
