In a study in China, several different varieties of rice were planted in the same field. Crop yields increased by 89 percent compared with fields with a single variety of rice. This occurred because there was a dramatic decrease in disease and the fields remained stable without using pesticides. In addition, the system increased local biodiversity. This is an example of a(n) showing greater productivity and stability than a(n) . monoculture; polyculture polyculture; monoculture natural community; agricultural community agricultural community; natural community polyculture; natural community

answer: angiosperms

dicots

angiosperms are highly evolved plants, they produce seeds which are enclosed within in a carple. these are the largest group of plants on earth. they include trees, shrubs, herbs and small flowering plants. angiosperms exhibit a flowering stage in their life cycle. the flower serves the function of reproduction and fruit formation in majority of angiosperms. dicot is the term used to describe flowering plants that have two seed leaves. dicots are plants which develop seeds which split into two parts called cotyledons. each cotyledon contains one embryo.

here, a small purple flower development indicates that the plant belongs to angiosperms and having two embryonic leaves indicates it belongs to dicots.

hope this , have a good day. c;
