Both the full body plate type and the half body plate trait are also present in an ocean near the lake. Where would you expect a higher occurrence of the full body plate trait, in the lake or the ocean? Explain your answer.

In the ocean

Explanation:

Ecological divergence leads to selection of essential traits against migrants and hybrid species. The full body plate type traits requires attention for occurrence  in an environment which is free from issues such as resource limitation or predator attacks. In vast ocean spaces , resources are not a limiting factor in ocean and also there is no risk of predators as there is huge chunk of space, thus, full body plate type will occur in higher number in the ocean.
