Question

Gina is an ecologist, She is studying damage to tree bark in a forest. Initial research suggests that a new animal species that’s entered the area caused the damage. So, Gina draws a model to show her colleagues what’s happening. Further research suggests that the animal has carried a bacteria that has infected the trees, causing the damage. What are the limitations of Gina’s model?
A:It doesn’t take all factors into account.
B:It isn’t drawn to scale.
C:It’s a mathematical model, not a conceptual model.
D:It needs to be a physical model, not a conceptual model

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer would be option A.

Explanation:

Gina's model lacks many important factors about the particular study of damage to tree bark in the forest. This model does not explain the number of animals entering a particular area of forest.

This model does not tell, how much damage has been done. It also fails to tell what type of damage the tree has faced. It does not explain what type of bacteria evolved or carried by the animal.

Thus, the correct answer would be option A.
