Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Mushrooms growing on the floor of an old growth forest exhibit a uniform pattern of dispersion since they are spaced evenly apart from each other. This may be due to competition for resources or other factors limiting their growth and distribution. The other options do not exhibit a uniform pattern of dispersion. Bees collecting pollen may exhibit a clumped pattern near flowers, moss spores may exhibit a random or clumped pattern depending on wind currents, and territorial songbirds may exhibit a random or clumped pattern based on the location of mating partners and available nesting sites.
