Microorganisms can mutate and evolve very quickly compared to most multicellular organisms. This allows pathogenic microorganisms to infect new species. Suppose a very harmful microorganism that is quite successful at infecting hardwood trees is introduced into a forest ecosystem. What effect would this pathogenic microorganism most likely have?
it would most likely infection the forests and probably even mutate to be able to infection animals that live in the forest
Answer: It would disrupt the ecosystem by greatly reducing the population
of a few species.
Explanation: If a few species are affected the multiplying effect can be devastating.
