One of the benefits of neoteny is that it allows:

A) time for more brain cells to be produced.
B) greater genetic diversity.
C) greater variety in diet.
D) None of the answers is correct.

Neoteny

Process in which juvenile stages of predecessors become adult features of descendants; idea derived from the observation that more recently evolved species resemble the young of their common ancestors.

Brain Cells

Cells located in the brain, including neurons and glial cells, responsible for processing information and supporting brain function.

Genetic Diversity

The total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species, contributing to variations among individuals and populations.
