Why more than one adaptation of plants in deserts had been evolved?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
Evolution involves constant random experimentation, leading to many different kinds of results. Every ecological niche has more than one species, and more than one adaptation. Think of how many different kinds of creatures have adapted to living underwater, and the tremendous number of different adaptations for doing so. There is no reason why there would be only one adaptation for desert plants.

Which deserts do cacti live in?
Cacti are primarily plants found in the Americas. Some have been taken to other areas of the world and introduced where they quickly become noxious invasive plants. Various prickly pear species are the prime culprits.
Why are plants on a school field not as well adapted then dandelions?
Becuse these plants have been taken out of their natural habitat. Dandelions have evolved to adapt to the conditions in the fields: the plants are adapted to different areas light conditions water conditions, the strenght of the wind etc. I hopw this was helpful!
When did vascular plants most likely evolve What is the evidence for the time scale?
During the Devonian Period is when vascular plants most likely evolved. The evidence of this time scale is that fossils dating back to the Devonian Period have been found.
How many people have never been in the forest?
Approximately millions because there are no forests in deserts.
A physical feature that has been changed for survival purposes?
An Adaptation. Adaptations are used to survive.
What plants have been evolved in the forests that became coal deposits?
Pine trees.
Are there cacti in the Great Victoria Desert?
Cacti are strictly plants of the Americas. However, cacti, especially prickly pears, have been introduced into a number of deserts around the world and they have become a noxious invasive species.Cacti are strictly plants of the Americas.

What is Darwins greatest scientific contribution?
Charles Darwin's greatest scientific contribution is his work on the Theory of Evolution. Without it, the fact that plants and animals evolved from its ancestors would not have been discovered.

What are some dominant animals in the desert?
Depends on the type and location of the desert. Most deserts have endemic apex species. Most north American deserts have some form of cactus as the predominant specie, where as African deserts do not have endemic cactus species.It is safe to say that the prevalent plant species in a hot, dry desert is zerophytic.Of course not all deserts are hot, there are also cold deserts such as Antartica, where there are no plant species.Depends which desert.most are dominated by many kinds of plants which have been specially adapted to survive there such as cacti
1 animal that has been evolved?
Virtually all animals have "evolved".

What is growth and origin of plants?
The origin of plants goes back at least 510 million years ago. They evolved from chlorophyte algae and have been growing ever since. Plant life and growth is abundant in many places on Earth.

During the Devonian Period is when vascular plants most likely evolved. The evidence of this time scale is that fossils dating back to the Devonian Period have been found.
Are there deserts in Austria?
nope.well not that have been found.
How has the elephant species evolved overtime?
Elephants have evolved with tusks! They have been hunted by poachers for their tusks, so they have evolved to not have tusks. :)
What root helps stabilize soil from erosion?
Any plant will prevent soil erosion. It's in their nature. Plants known as "pioneer species" are perhaps best suited for erosion control as these plants have evolved to thrive in areas that have been disturbed by landslides or construction.
