Question

A very small population of a species faces a greater threat of extinction than a larger population provide a suitable genetic explaination

Answer 1

A very small population faces a greater threat of extinction becoz the frequency of genetic mutations will be low due to which chances of useful variations will be further less to support the survival of the species than the one with larger population where the chances of useful variations are more thereby decreasing their chances of extinction upto minimum or negligible.

Answer 2

$\huge{\bf{\red{Answer♡}}}$

A small population of a species impose extensive inbreeding among them, which limits the appearance of variations and put species at a disadvantage. Also, they fail to cope up with the environmental changes, thus become extinct.
