Over time, the climate of a region becomes cooler. How will this most likely affect the species living in that region? (1 point)

Some species that already have or that develop cold-weather adaptations through natural selection will survive, while species without cold-weather adaptations may go extinct.
• All of the current species living in the region will migrate to warmer areas, while species adapted to cold-weather climates will migrate into the region.
• All of the current species living in the area will become extinct, and new species better adapted to the climate will form and populate the region.
• Most of the current species living in the area will develop beneficial mutations, which will lead to adaptations that help them survive in the new climate.
