1. the distribution of dandelions would be

classified as

.

1. the distribution of wild horses would be

classified as

.
when resources are localized, such
watering hole, herds of large mamr
wild horses tend to gather around t

Explanation:

To solve these questions, we need to recall the types of population distributions: clumped, uniform, and random.

Question 2: Distribution of Gannets

Gannets (seabirds) often nest in large, dense colonies. This is a clumped distribution because individuals gather in groups (e.g., for breeding, protection, or resource access).

Question 3: Distribution of Dandelions

Dandelions spread via wind-dispersed seeds, leading to a random distribution (seeds land unpredictably, and individuals are not strongly attracted to or repelled by each other).

Question 4: Distribution of Wild Horses

Wild horses gather around localized resources (e.g., watering holes), so their distribution is clumped (individuals cluster near essential resources).

Answer:

s:

1. Clumped
2. Random
3. Clumped
