<span>In this population, what will occur is that there will be no evolution. Mutation is neccessary and important because they provide varitations that can result in evolutionary change. Other factors needed for evolution to occur are migration and selective pressure.</span>
I believe the answer should be minute volume.
The epidermal tissue would form a boundary between the plant and it's environment so it probably wouldn't prevent asexual reproduction. Predation doesn't making sense because it's a plant, not an animal prey. Water loss is the best answer because the thick boundary prevents some water from evaporating.
