∙ 9y agoAn extinction of a species will most likely occur during a world-wide natural disaster, when a species is over hunted, or if they run out of food sources. They may also die out if they are unable to produce offspring.

What will the deforestation of rain forests most likely lead to?
Deforestation of rainforests will likely lead to extensive extinction of species.
Which natural disaster is most likely to cause the extinction of one or more species?
Hurricanes because it covers the most land.
Which would most likely be caused by environmental conditions?
Extinction is most likely to be caused by environmental conditions. Dramatic changes to the climate can mean that species are no longer adapted to survive.
Which event is the most likely cause for the four periods when punctuated equilibrium seems to occur?
Extinction events, such as the Permian extinction and the KT extinction event. You have adaptive radiation driving evolutionary change after such events. Google " the rise of the mammals. "
What would most likely occur if a species is adapted to an environment then the environment changes quickly?
Most of said species die, if there is a favorable mutation existent in the population that characteristic will become more prevalent. If not the species will most likely go extinct.
What is the likely cause of the current increase rate of extinction?
Deforestation, because most of animal species live in the rainforest but it is getting cut down so animals get closer to extinction. Like the jaguar.
What describes the most likely effect of deforestation on the natural world?
Millions of animals will lose their natural habitats, resulting in the extinction of many species.
What happens when animals don't adapt to their environment?
Extinction of the Species.
When is victimization most likely to occur when?
Victimization is most likely to occur when
Resource partitioning would be most likely to occur between?
sympatric populations of species with similar ecological niches
Competitive exclusion is most likely to occur between two?
closely related species occupying the same niche.
What are small populations most likely to undergo?
Extinction
