← HistoryWhich outcome arose when early silk production involved intensive sericulture?
A)Selective sericin protein degradation occurs
B)Silk Road cultural exchange flourished
C)Bombyx mori strain diversity decreased✓
D)Cocoon reeling efficiency experienced failure
💡 Explanation
Decreased strain diversity occurs because artificial selection favors high silk yielding moths, therefore genetic bottlenecks reduce future populations rather than increasing overall adaptation through natural selection across diverse environmental conditions.
