Flashcards: Use evidence to explain environmental impacts on traits

Sasha planted huge shrubs and trees in her backyard to give her privacy from her neighbors. She created lots of shade to sit in on hot summer days. What she didn't realize was that all of the darkness was hurting her smaller plants. They are supposed to be green and stand straight, but now they are wilting and brown.

Use evidence from the text to explain the environmental impact on the traits of the smaller plants.

The shrubs and trees have changed the environment by creating a beautiful shady spot to sit and relax.

The shrubs and trees are growing strong and tall. This means the soil is healthy and they are getting enough water.

The plants inherited traits to be green and stand tall, but because of having no sunlight, they are drooping and turning brown.

The smaller plants are thriving and doing well in the backyard because of perfect conditions.
