What might happen to an organism that uses asexual reproduction if the average temperature of its habitat changes?

A. The organisms will not grow as large as before the temperature change.

B. The organism will change to adapt to its environment.

C. The species may become extinct because it cannot adapt to change.

D. More of the organisms will survive to adulthood.

(These are multiple choice questions btw)

Respuesta :

C

Asexual production, such as in budding, creates exact copies as the parent  cell and hence there is little variability between the parent and offspring. While asexual reproduction offers the advantage of fast reproduction it also bears a great disadvantage.

Explanation:

Natural selection acts on variability to help a population adapt to change in an environment. During a change in environment, the organisms with genes better adapted to the new environment become more favorable to pass their genes. Therefore the population evolves over time to have more of these alleles in the population.  A population with low variability becomes less able to adapt to changes in the environment.
