In which scenario would mitosis be least desirable in terms of a species' survival? A species has little energy to devote to reproduction A species is unable to travel far to find a mate A species has to adjust rapidly to a changing environment A species is preyed upon by numerous successful predators

A species has to adjust rapidly to a changing environment. Mitosis relies solely on mutations which, due to the high rate of reproduction imparted by such a simple system, do occur regularly but there is less room for adaption as the organism is mostly stuck with variations on one set of genes - most of which will be fatal.
