Chapter 14.5, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The factors that can cause extinction.
Introduction:
Extinction is the termination or death of all the member of species of an organism. Many factors are responsible for extinction, but the main cause is the inability of an individual to survive in environmental changes. A species will eventually die if its gene pool has not the right allele to compete for the survival.
