If organisms are unable to generate enough genetic diversity to survive in a changing environment, they may not be able to adapt to new conditions, which can lead to extinction. Producing more offspring may increase the chances of survival, but it does not necessarily increase genetic diversity. Evolution by non-genetic mechanisms is possible, but it may not be sufficient to keep up with rapidly changing environments. Asexual reproduction can increase the population size, but genetic diversity is limited without meiosis and recombination.
