Question

Explain why you would or would not expect evolution to proceed more quickly in a rapidly changing environment. Be sure to address all five agents of evolutionary change in your response.

Answer 1

Answere : Yes, evolution proceed more quickly ina rapidly changing envirnoment. Envirnoment change play an important role in evolution. Envirnoment change is any change in an envirnoment to which an organism must have adapt. Change can br gradual, such as when mountain and desert form, other species out, new species formed. These things take millions of years. Envirnoment change can be too rapid, such as flood, volcanoes, or earthquick. Change in the envirnoment forces the organism, to adapt to fit in the new envirnoment, eventually causing it to evolve into a new species.

Five important forces of evolutionary change are :

I. Natural selection

II. Genetic drift

III. Mutation

IV. Gene flow and Non-random mating

V. Immigration Emigration.
