Day 2 Jordan conducted an experiment to determine if fruit flies would be more attracted to apples or oranges. She put
half an apple and half an orange in a sealed container with 50 fruit flies. After 30 minutes she counted the fruit flies
near the apple and orange. She discovered that 43 fruit flies were near the orange and 7 fruit flies were near the
apple. What kind of variable is the type of fruit that was used in the experiment?
A. Independent variable
B. Constant variable
C. Dependent variable
D. Reliant Variable

the right option is; decreased genetic variation  

decreased genetic variation describes the effect of this environmental change.

genetic variation is the naturally occurring genetic diversities or differences between organisms of the same species in a population. genetic variation allows the survival and adaptability of a species when they encounter changing environmental conditions. when an endangered species reduces, it loses genetic variation which may not be restored even if the species rebound and will only be recovered through the gradual collection of mutations over many years.
