What is the rate of appearance of new forms linked to in evolution?
  1. The life cycle
  2. The life span
  3. The ability to utilise a feed component
  4. None of the above

Solution

The rate of appearance of new forms in evolution is linked to the life span of the organism. For example, microbes with short life spans can multiply and become millions of individuals within hours, while it would take millions of years for the same thing to happen in a fish or fowl, due to their longer life spans.
