Imagine a population of squirrels are a range of sizes. How can this type of diversity affect the population?

A. The sizes help the squirrels compete with rabbits for space and food.
B. The diversity means that fewer individuals will survive if the environment changes.
C. The diversity means that some individuals are likely to survive if something in the environment changes.
D. The sizes help the squirrels recognize one another.

The correct option is C) The diversity means that some individuals are likely to survive if something in the environment changes.

Explanation:

The diversity present in the population of a species allows and protects the survival of the species. Genetic diversity increases the chances of stability and survival of a species when  situations such as natural disasters strike. The different range in the size of the squirrels allows the squirrels to be better adapted to the environmental changes. If a disaster occurs, there will be chances that particular organisms will be able to survive due to their unique characteristics.

the correct answer is:

a population changes in response to a change in the environment.

if your own plato the answer is b. the fern transitioned from sporophyte generation to gametophyte generation.
