Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which dispersion pattern is described by organisms being spaced out equally?
A
Uniform
B
Random
C
Clumped
D
None of these
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Uniform dispersion (Figure 2), where individuals are almost equally spaced apart from each other and random dispersion (Figure 3).

Detailed explanation-2: -In uniform distribution, organisms are spread out in a fairly regular pattern. This occurs often where individuals must compete for a limiting resource, such as water or light. Desert shrubs and redwood trees grow in a uniform distribution-shrubs compete for water, while redwoods compete for light.

Detailed explanation-3: -Clumped dispersion is often due to an uneven distribution of nutrients or other resources in the environment. It can also be caused by social interactions between individuals. Additionally, in organisms that don’t move, such as plants, offspring might be very close to their parents and show clumped dispersion patterns.

Detailed explanation-4: -Uniform dispersion, also known as even distribution, occurs when items are spaced evenly apart and spread out as much as possible.

Detailed explanation-5: -A Uniform spacing pattern is the pattern in which plants are planted by keeping some distance in between. In such cases, the distance between the two plants is roughly equal, and they will not clump with each other.
