A student researching butterfly migration has taken the following notes:
• Monarch butterflies migrate up to 3,000 miles from Canada to Mexico • They navigate using the sun's position and Earth's magnetic field • No single butterfly completes the entire round trip • Multiple generations are born and die during the annual migration • Milkweed plants are essential for monarch reproduction
The student wants to highlight the remarkable nature of monarch migration. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes?
Milkweed plants are essential for monarch butterfly reproduction along migration routes.
Monarchs navigate their migration using both the sun's position and Earth's magnetic field.
