Question

how can environmental conditions cause a species or population to evolve? they cause more mutations within an individual. individuals more suited to the environment are the ones that survive and reproduce. it causes a species to reproduce more asexually.

Explanation:

According to the theory of natural selection, environmental conditions act as a selective pressure. Individuals with traits better - suited to the environment have a higher chance of survival and reproduction. Over time, these favorable traits become more common in the population, leading to evolutionary change. Mutations within an individual are random and not directly caused by environmental conditions in a way that specifically drives evolution (they are just a source of genetic variation). And while some species can reproduce asexually, this is not the mechanism by which environmental conditions cause evolution. The key is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals based on their fitness in the environment.

Answer:

Individuals more suited to the environment are the ones that survive and reproduce.
