Question

question 11 4 pts earth has undergone some catastrophic changes from time to time, however life on earth continued following these catastrophes, give a reason for this observation. fast mutation species diversity slow mutation genetic variation

Explanation:

Genetic variation means within a population, individuals have different traits. When a catastrophic event occurs, some individuals with traits suited to the new, harsh conditions survive, reproduce, and pass on those favorable traits, allowing life to persist. Fast/slow mutation alone doesn't directly explain post-catastrophe survival as effectively, and species diversity is a broader result rather than the core reason for life continuing after disasters.

Answer:

genetic variation
