Question

Which of the following enables different species to adapt to their environment?(1 point) Responses More organisms with similar features More organisms with similar features Low rates of genetic mutation Low rates of genetic mutation Asexual reproduction Asexual reproduction Genetic diversity

Answer 1

The correct response is **genetic diversity**. Genetic diversity within a population provides the raw material for natural selection, enabling different species to adapt to their changing environments. The more genetic variation there is, the greater the likelihood that some individuals in a population will possess traits that allow them to survive and reproduce in their specific environment.
