Question

a scientist records the growth of two types of plants in nutrient - poor soil over 10 days. the results are shown in the table:
plant type|average growth rate (cm/day)
adaptive trait|2.5
non - adaptive trait|1.2
fill in the blanks. use the drop - down arrow to choose the correct word to complete the sentence.
scientific evidence supports the claim that nutrient - adaptive plants grow better. this is because their growth rate in poor soil was compared to non - adaptive plants.

Explanation:

The average growth rate of adaptive - trait plants (2.5 cm/day) is greater than that of non - adaptive trait plants (1.2 cm/day) in nutrient - poor soil. So, nutrient - adaptive plants have a higher growth rate.

Answer:

higher
