Why does having a genetically diverse population make a species more likely
to survive a change to the environment?
o
a. they are more likely to have harmful mutations.
b. they are more likely to have some individuals adapted for survival.
оо
c. they are more likely to become an invasive species.
o
d. they are more likely to reach carrying capacity.

the last one: artificial selection/genetic engineering

plant breeding is modifying the genetic composition of the plant - but this isn't cloning (which is specifically introducing a gene into a genome). but you are artificially selecting for the phenotype that you want.

the second one is literally genetic engineering - the gene would have been cloned first and then inserted or genetically engineered into the new plant cell (the cotton).
