Question

1. describe how ranges of tolerance affect the distribution of a species.

Explanation:

Ranges of tolerance refer to the environmental conditions (such as temperature, humidity, pH) within which a species can survive and reproduce. If environmental factors are within a species' tolerance range, it can thrive and have a wider distribution. When conditions exceed upper or lower tolerance limits, the species may face stress, reduced fitness, and its distribution may be restricted to areas where conditions are more favorable.

Answer:

Ranges of tolerance determine where a species can live. When environmental conditions are within the tolerance range, the species can have a wider distribution. When outside the range, its distribution is restricted as it may face stress and reduced fitness.
