Answer 1

Explanation:

if a trait A exists in 10% of a population of an asexually reproducing species and a trait B exists in 60% of the same population, trait B is likely to have arisen earlier because this trait has been replicating and existing in a higher percentage of the population as compared to trait A.

Hope this answer helps :)

Answer 2

➜ Trait B is likely to have arisen earlier in a population of an asexually reproducing species.

➜ These are the factors that could lead to the rise of a new species:

• Genetic variation.
• Natural selection.
• Reproductive isolation.
