In a warming world, seasonal events are occurring earlier in spring and later in fall. Is this a significant problem? Yes, because species respond differently. This can lead to mismatches between the life cycles of plants and pollinators, predators and prey, etc. No, because all species are responding in the same way. The growing season is longer, so species are likely to benefit from this change.

The correct answer is A. Yes, because species respond differently. This can lead to mismatches between the life cycles of plants and pollinators, predators and prey, etc.

Explanation:

A seasonal event refers to an event that is exclusive from a specific time of the year or a specific season, in biology, this is related to the life cycle of multiple organisms and includes migration, reproduction, hibernation, etc. Additionally, organisms are related to seasonal events as the seasonal event of one organism depends on others. Due to this, as temperatures and seasons change due to global warming these seasonal events are affected which can lead to mismatches between the life cycles of organisms that depend on each other and in some cases affect the population of organisms as it can affect reproduction. Thus, it is a significant problem due to mismatches between the life cycles of different organisms.
