The picture shows an ant infected with the fungus Cordyceps. An infected ant will move to an area that is favorable for the growth of the fungus. The fungus will remain there while its mycelia replace the ant's tissues, causing death and eventually releasing more spores that can infect other ants.
A jungle can contain many different species of the fungus. What is a positive effect of these fungi in maintaining the stability of a jungle habitat?
A They help regulate the population of arthropods in the jungle.
@ They reduce the number of parasites in the jungle.
C They help improve the genome of arthropods in the jungle
