Answer:

Option D,whether the mutation makes some wolves more fit for their environment than other wolves

Explanation:

Mutation creating a new fur color in the wolf population will continue to persists in the ecosystem only when it makes the wolf population more fit to survive in the prevailing environmental conditions.

For instance , if the new fur color makes wolf appear as a violent species to its predators then as per the theory of natural selection more and more wolf will interbreed with colorful fur wolf species to produce offspring that are able to cope up with the environment and emerge as the fittest of all.

Hence, option D is correct

Living things come from other living things through either sexual or asexual reproduction.
Iteru [2.4K]

Explanation:

Organisms don’t have to only reproduce sexually or only reproduce asexually - some animals do both!

When conditions are good, such organisms will reproduce asexually because it is easier. For example, starfish (by fragmentation), slime molds, and water fleas/daphnia (by parthenogenesis) all reproduce asexually when there is plenty of food, minimal predators, and not too much crowding of individuals of the same species.

When conditions worsen (less food, too many individuals, etc), they may switch to sexual reproduction in order to add genetic variation to their population and ensure survival through difficult times.
