When an environment changes faster that an species can adapt, the most likely outcome is ____
|
|
____ biological evolution.
|
|
|
____ voluntary mutation
|
|
|
____ species extinction
|
|
|
____ selective breeding
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Change in an organism’s environment forces the organism to adapt to fit the new environment, eventually causing it to evolve into a new species.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most obvious proximate factor causing extinction is temperatures that exceed the physiological tolerance of the species [10, 12]. This factor may be most important in sessile organisms and those with limited thermoregulatory ability, and in regions and time scales in which temperature increase is greatest.
Detailed explanation-3: -Species with shorter life spans reproduce more frequently, and the rapid succession of generations helps them evolve genetic adaptations through natural selection much more quickly.
