The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "Plant species having a wide range of genetic distribution evolve into a local population known as:", we need to identify the term that describes this phenomenon in ecology and evolution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Genetic Distribution**: - Plant species can have a wide genetic variation across different geographical areas. This variation is crucial for the survival and adaptability of the species. 2. **Local Population Concept**: - When a plant species with a broad genetic distribution begins to adapt to a specific local environment, it may evolve into a distinct local population. This local population is often characterized by specific traits that are advantageous in that environment. 3. **Defining the Term**: - The term that describes a local population of a species that has adapted to a specific environment is called a "subspecies" or "ecotype". These terms indicate that while the plants belong to the same species, they have diverged in certain traits due to local environmental pressures. 4. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the answer to the question is that plant species having a wide range of genetic distribution evolve into a local population known as a **subspecies** or **ecotype**.
