Why is a species with a small population more likely than a large population to undergo an extinction?
Madhur L.
Low genetic variation or a lack of genetic diversity increases the risks of extinction. Scientists have observed this in cheetah populations. Captive feline cheetahs at a breeding colony for large cats were exposed to a viral pathogen that killed roughly 50% of the cheetah population. None of the lions in the large cat population developed symptoms or were affected. Scientists know that lions have a more extensive genetic variation, which means they had the gene variations in their immune system necessary to fend off the disease. Describe the evidence that supports how the cheetah population is likely experiencing a lack of genetic diversity. Suggest one way humans can intervene to increase genetic diversity. Predict a potential adaption that could result from this increase in diversity.
