History

Which limiting consequence resulted from early maize agriculture?

A)Nutrient depletion from the soil
B)Widespread protein deficiency conditions
C)Cultivation limited by water availability
D)Vulnerability increased from uniform genetics

💡 Explanation

Uniform genetics increased disease vulnerability because artificial selection favored specific traits, initiating genetic bottlenecking, then monoculture amplifies risk. Disease spreads easily in uniform crops therefore, rather than nutrient depletion becoming primary, as intercropping was common, diversifying risk.
