For a given species, an increased evolutionary rate would cause a decrease in a) biodiversity. b) fitness of a species. c) similarity of the individuals in the species. d) the number of new genes in the dna of the species.

C) similarity of the individuals in the species

Explanation: Similarity of the individuals in the species. It would be expected that increased evolutionary rate would cause individuals in the species to resemble each other less.

an adaptation is a change or process by which an organism takes to be better suited for its environment. for example; migration is a behavioral adaptation, this is needed because birds are not built to last extremely cold climates. there are different adaptations because there are different species needing to adjust to different things, bears don't migrate; they hibernate.

but there is no

i guess you forgot putting it.
