Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Animals that are the least specialized generally stand the best chance of survival when the environment suddenly and drastically changed because they are able to ____
A
mutate rapidly
B
move from place to place
C
reproduce abundantly
D
adapt to different conditions
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The answer is Because they are able to adapt to different conditions. The least specialized animals are those animals that can survive in a wide range of different environmental factors, unlike specialized animals which are very sensitive to changes.

Detailed explanation-2: -If organisms cannot adapt to the changes in their environment, they may move to another location. If they will not move, the species may become threatened, or extinct.

Detailed explanation-3: -Organisms that are more adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Detailed explanation-4: -This happens by the process of natural selection. By natural selection, the nature of the species gradually changes to become adapted to the niche. If a species becomes very well adapted to its environment, and if the environment does not change, species can exist for a very long time before they become extinct.

Detailed explanation-5: -Adaptation can protect animals from predators or from harsh weather. Many birds can hide in the tall grass and weeds and insects can change their colour to blend into the surroundings. This makes it difficult for predators to seek them out for food.
