2. which of the follow is most likely to have the fastest rate of evolution?
a population of sparrows in a stable environment and a low mutation rate
® a small, isolated population of minnows that live in a changing environment
© a large population of sea turtles that freely interbreed and have a slow rate of reproduction
d a population of rabbits with a fast reproductive rate living in a stable environment

the correct answer is b

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.

1. is geographic distribution

2 is increasing complexity

3 is transitional forms
