Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these would most likely happen to a species that is not able to adapt to a changing environment?
A
The species would become extinct over time
B
The species would develop mutated cells
C
The species would develop resistance to disease
D
The species would change the environment
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If conditions change more quickly than a species can evolve, however, and if members of that species lack the traits they need to survive in the new environment, the likely result will be extinction.

Detailed explanation-2: -Which of these would most likely happen to a species that is not able to adapt to a changing environment? The species would become extinct over time.

Detailed explanation-3: -Populations that fail to adapt fast enough eventually decline to extinction.

Detailed explanation-4: –When the environment changes, organisms best suited for the new environment survive and reproduce.-The favorable adaptation is passed on to the next generation.-Over time, more and more organisms will have the favorable adaptation, and the population will evolve.

Detailed explanation-5: -If it changes more rapidly, few adaptive walks will be completed, and the population will be poorly adapted most of the time. If it changes very rapidly selection may be inadequate to restore adaptation quickly enough, and the population will dwindle and eventually become extinct.
