Question 1 • TPS EdX Biology

Which is one way that a short-term environmental change will most likely affect organisms within an ecosystem?

Answer
A
It will lead to forced migration.
B
It will lead to adaptation.
C
It will lead to speciation.
D
It will lead to larger populations.

Explanation

A short-term environmental change can quickly make an organism’s habitat less suitable or reduce access to resources. Organisms may respond by moving to another area, causing forced migration. Adaptation and speciation generally require changes across many generations, while a short-term change does not necessarily make populations larger.
