Answer: C. Radical global climate change.

Explanation:

The entire taxa of the species can be wiped out due to an large catastrophic event associated with the change in the climate. As the climate becomes warm the chances of undergoing the global precipitation rate will change. The climate being an important abiotic factor under unstability is likely to affect the amount of rainfall, snow fall, drought and conditions of desertification. All these factors can be responsible for the removal of the entire taxa of the species in short time.

What causes genetic variation in a population
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

A lot of factors cause genetic variation in a population. The root of all genetic variation is mutations, which occur randomly.

A lot of genetic variation in fact results during meiosis, the process by which gametes (sex/reproductive cells) are formed. The 3 main ways are crossing over, independent assortment of chromosomes, and random fertilization. Crossing over occurs during Prophase I of meiosis, in which genetic material is exchanged between nonsister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. Independent assortment refers to the following: When cells divide during meiosis, homologous chromosomes are randomly distributed during anaphase I, separating and segregating independently of each other.  Random fertilization is where any sperm can fertilize any egg cell. The many combinations of eggs and sperms mean variation.

Another source of genetic variation include gene flow. Gene flow is where populations have their members enter other populations (migration), influencing the gene pool of populations. This source is more controversial, however.

Random mating can also increase genetic variation.
