Question 12 2 pts The species of coral formerly called "Acropora prolifera" is now recognized as a hybrid of the coral species A. cervicornis and A. palmata. All of the following may help explain why these hybrids are common on Caribbean reefs, except: the hybrids are more resistant to high temperatures and disease than either parent species a hybrid can persist by reproducing asexually, basically cloning itself hybrids form very long-lived colonies corals mass spawn on the same night so frequently form hybrids the hybrids have evolved into their own species
