Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Suppose an ecosystem changes. Onekind of organism CANNOT adapt to this change and they begin to die off fasterthan they can reproduce. This organism is most likely to ____
A
recover
B
become angry hiding
C
become extinct
D
go into hiding
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

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

Detailed explanation-3: -Evolutionary adaptation, or simply adaptation, is the adjustment of organisms to their environment in order to improve their chances at survival in that environment.

Detailed explanation-4: -Impacts of climate change on ecosystems reduce their ability to improve water quality and regulate water flows. Rapid changes to ecosystems may cause the displacement or loss of many species. Timing of biological events is shifting, affecting species and habitats.
