temperate zone is an area where the conditions never become too hot or too cold, allowing many different kinds of organisms to thrive.

why does a temperate zone support the greatest variety of organism?

answer; i do believe that the correct answer is; ///mendelian genes are at specific loci on the chromosome and, in turn, segregate during meiosis;

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.
