Imagine a major volcanic eruption has dramatically changed the environment on an island such that the average temperature and available sunlight are much lower. Of the following species present on that island, which species is most likely to adapt and evolve to this change instead of going extinct?(1 point) Responses an insect species with a high reproduction rates and a significant mutation rate an insect species with a high reproduction rates and a significant mutation rate a large mammal species with a low reproduction rate and specific food needs. a large mammal species with a low reproduction rate and specific food needs. a bird species with specific nesting requirements that only feeds on one type of seed. a bird species with specific nesting requirements that only feeds on one type of seed. a reptile species with a high reproduction rate and very similar individuals.
The insect species with a high reproduction rate and significant mutation rate is most likely to adapt and evolve to the changes caused by the volcanic eruption. This is because their ability to reproduce quickly and have a high mutation rate allows for genetic variability and the potential for adaptation to different environmental conditions. In contrast, the other species mentioned have lower reproduction rates or specific food requirements, making them less likely to adapt to the changed environment and more susceptible to extinction.
