Which would be more difficult for that population to survive: a disease that destroys half of its population, or a disease that targets any organism in the population with similar traits. Why?

Answer:

disease that targets any organism in the population with similar traits

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The most difficult case of survival would that of the disease destroys half of the population as if the diseases like a virus targets an organism it will lead to the decline of the entire community of species which have related similar traits.
  • Even mutation will also not protect the species as it will create destruction of the diversity of species.A comparison to reducing the population of species to half.
