Will a species that lives a long time but has few offspring be more or less likely to become extinct after a sudden change in the environment than a species that has a short life but produces a lot of?

It might not but some animals can adapt very quick so it also might.

How could extant species be descended from extinct species?
They can't. Once a species becomes extinct, it has reached the end of the line. It no longer exists, so therefore produces no more offspring. Thus, the theory that living species of today are descended from extinct species from long ago is untenable.
What happens if a species no longer reproduces?
Extinction. When a species fails to adapt, it dies out.
What is a reproductive strategy?
The way a species produces offspring
How did the animals come exten?
Extinct? Well, in order for a species to become extinct all its members have to die and not produce any offspring. If the environment becomes too hostile, or predators too numerous or good at hunting our doomed species, that may happen.
What plant produces offspring with the same traits as the parents?
A species.
Can the speed of a change in the environment might affect whether or not a species becomes extinct?
If the species environment is not the way the species needs it to survive then the species will become extinct. for example, if doesn't have any trees, then it cant survive.
Why can members of a species breed and produce fertile offspring?
They produce offspring so that organisms species doesn't become extinct!
If the environment changes quickly and no individual members of a species are able to survive in the new environment then the species will what?
become extinct.
How does the environment impact species's survival?
If the species environment is not the way the species needs it to survive then the species will become extinct. for example, if doesn't have any trees, then it cant survive.
How does the environment impact species survival?
If the species environment is not the way the species needs it to survive then the species will become extinct. for example, if doesn't have any trees, then it cant survive.
How does the environment Impact a species survival?
If the species environment is not the way the species needs it to survive then the species will become extinct. for example, if doesn't have any trees, then it cant survive.
What if a animal did not reproduce?
It would not procreate (produce offspring), and if it were the last of its species, it would go extinct.
