Coyotes primarily feed on small mammals, such as rabbits, squirrels, birds, and mice. Many of these prey try to escape from coyotes by burrowing into the ground.

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

Question
Many sponges can reproduce asexually. Ladybugs, on the other hand, reproduce sexually. When small bits of a sponge are broken off—often by currents or by predators—they can float to new regions and regenerate as new sponges. A ladybug must find a mate before it can reproduce.One disadvantage of the sponge's method of reproduction is that(1 point)
Responses
it requires more energy.
it requires more energy.
its offspring have little genetic diversity.
its offspring have little genetic diversity.
its offspring have greater genetic diversity.
its offspring have greater genetic diversity.
it must devote a greater portion of its life cycle to reproduction.
