question 10 of 25
which factor has the greatest impact on the survival of a species when the species environment changes?
a. the length of time the species has existed
b. the amount of diversity in the species
c. the number of individuals in the species
d. whether the species was well suited to its previous environment

Explanation:

Species diversity means more genetic variation. This variation provides a wider range of traits. When the environment changes, some individuals with suitable traits (due to diversity) are more likely to survive and reproduce, increasing the species' chances of long - term survival. For example, in a changing climate, a diverse species may have some members that can tolerate the new temperature or precipitation levels.

Answer:

B. The amount of diversity in the species
