Question

How is the small number of surviving tigers a cause of worry from genetics point of view?

Answer 1

Answer:

Good morning

Here is ur Answer ⤵

➡ When a population is small , the scope and the number of variation is limited , and hence diversity and traits are reduced. The small number of surviving tiger a causes of worry because it would cause loss of genetic variability. A disease may wipe out the left over population , if the entire population is susceptible to the diseases . It can cause sudden extinction of tigers and loss of there genes forever adversely affecting the diversity of nature.

Answer 2

How is the small number of surviving tigers a cause of worry from genetics point of view?

Small populations are at risk of extinction because:

1. Lesser opportunity of finding the mate.
2. Interbreeding that leads to interbreeding depression & degeneration.
3. Increased threat to Survival because of habitat destruction & environmental changes.
4. Fewer recombinations & less variability & hence lesser adaptability to changing environment
