Question 6 Which of the following do you expect to see after a mass extinction? New mutations arise that can be beneficial for the new environment Organisms that have specialized interactions with other organism, like a flowering plant that depends on a specific pollinator, are more likely to survive The complexity of the community is reduced to very few interactions between organisms, mostly generalist interactions Most species survive although their number of individuals has been significantly reduced.
