What else can I help you with?
Which of the following is a major factor leading to extinction?
Which of what? I can't answer your question if it's vague like this.
What factor could be the cause of the other three in an animal species?
A lack of genetic variability in the species :)
Which factor could be the cause of the other three in an animal species?
A lack of genetic variability in the species #2
What is a factor that is necessary for the formation of a new species?
One necessary factor for the formation of a new species is reproductive isolation, which prevents individuals from different populations from interbreeding and exchanging genetic material. This isolation can be caused by geographic barriers, behavioral differences, or genetic incompatibility, leading to the accumulation of genetic differences that ultimately result in the formation of distinct species.
How is overspecialization a factor of extinction?
If a species becomes over specialized, it faces extinction. This is because it is perfect for one task, so if this task no longer exists then the species is unable to perform another. For example, if the species was perfect for eating grass and only grass, it is reliant on the grass for survival. If all the grass disappears the species would starve and become extinct.
A genetic factor that covers up another genetic factor is called?
A dominant trait is a genetic factor that blocks another genetic factor. A recessive trait is a genetic factor that is blocked by the presence of a dominant fact
What factor might contribute to the extinction of the woodpecker?
Not all woodpeckers obtain their food from trees, some feed on the ground, but they do need trees for nesting. So the removal of trees from areas where woodpeckers live would be a factor leading to their extinction. Another factor would be the overuse of insecticides as has already happened in the reduction of numbers of some species of birds.
What do you think are the main reasons for the increased rate of extinction?
Extinction of species may greatly affected by man made change to the ecological system. There are troubles in measuring the actual extinctions increased by man. With the extincted species we got newly adapted species to replace. By average, living species live for 10 MYr average and we hardly measure the increase rate of extinction since we can hardly estimated a correct background extinction rate. For what scientist can say is, human existence become major factor of species natural selection process. Those that can adapt to coexist with human had greater chance of survival.
What is the single MOST important factor contributing to the modern-day extinction of hundreds of species on Earth?
The single most important factor contributing to the modern-day extinction of hundreds of species is habitat destruction, primarily driven by human activities such as deforestation, urbanization, and agriculture. This loss of habitat not only reduces the living space available for species but also fragments ecosystems, making it difficult for species to find food, mates, and migrate. Additionally, habitat destruction often leads to a cascade of other threats, including pollution and climate change, further exacerbating the risk of extinction.
What could cause reproductive isolation?
Any factor that in nature prevents interbreeding between individuals of the same species or of closely related species, for example geographic separation is itself a reproductive isolation because is a factor that prevents interbreeding. -extinction of one species -production of infertile offspring -development of physical differences
What is genetic a factor?
two genetic materials
What is the primary factor that separates species from another?
The primary factor that separates species from one another is reproductive isolation, which prevents different species from interbreeding. This can occur through various mechanisms, including behavioral, temporal, mechanical, and geographical barriers. Such isolation allows for distinct evolutionary paths, enabling species to adapt to their environments and maintain unique genetic identities.
