I hear folks saying bugs are dying off because of changes in the environment, but shouldn’t bugs be some of the best equipped to handle changes? I imagine they reproduce faster than humans, and so I’d think their genes could adjust faster as well. You’d think we’d be having a worse time than bugs as the environment changes?
In: Biology
Some bugs also reproduce asexually so the genome is rather small (the gene pool is a puddle) so if something in the environment would lil one bug it’ll probably kill every other one with the same genes. Humans genome is different person to person because our genes come from two places, mum and dad. More diversity means more adaptability
