Answer: A. Environmental drivers plus genetic variation in the population result in natural selection
Explanation: over geological time environmental conditions change. Organisms do not survive in one environmental niche with traits adapted to a possible future change that might suit those traits. Adaptation is not a matter of choice: adapt if possible or go extinct.
There is a (badly named) concept called pre-adaptation, which is that variations in some existing trait render adaptation to a different environment more likely.
An increase in the available water in an ecosystem would increase the sustainability of an ecosystem.
An increase of human interference can negatively impact local flora and fauna populations.
A decrease in the amount of sunlight would negative impact plants.
A decrease in the number of available producers will negatively impact the entire food chain/food web.
Answer:
<h2>Exaptation</h2>
Explanation:
Exaptation is the process by <u><em>which the features acquire those functions for which they were not originally selected</em></u> or adapted. Feather is an example of exaptation, it has appeared in various fossils of the flightless ancestors of modern birds, it later became important for flying, Once they molded for flying it adapted for that function, It is found in both behavior and anatomy.
