Answer 1

Answer:

An exotic species that is introduced to a new area, spreads rapidly and eliminates native species is called (also called "non-indigenous" or "non-native") that adversely affect the habitats and bioregions they invade economically, environmentally, or ecologically. Such invasive species may be either plants or animals and may disrupt by dominating a region, wilderness areas, particular habitats, or wildland–urban interface land from loss of natural controls (such as predators or herbivores).

So teh correct option is 'invasive species'.

Answer 2

An exotic species that are introduced to a new area, spread rapidly, and eliminate native species are called invasive species.

Invasive species:

• An imported organism that overpopulates and damages its new habitat is referred to as an invasive species.
• Even though the majority of imported species are neutral or helpful to other species, invasive species have a negative impact on habitats and bioregions, harming their ecology, the environment, and/or their economy.
• An invasive species need not originate from abroad.
• For instance, although lake trout are native to the Great Lakes, Yellowstone Lake in Wyoming considers them to be an invasive species since they compete with the local cutthroat trout for the same environment.

Which five species are the most invasive?

• Green Crab (Carcinus maenas)
• Killer Algae (Caulerpa taxifolia)
• Sea Walnut (Mnemiopsis leidyi)
• Veined Rapa Whelk (Rapana venosa)
• Zebra Mussel (Dreissena polymorpha)
