Answer:

D - Its genetic diversity is very low

Explanation:

An extinction vortex can be defined as the process which populations in decline pass through to drive them into a vortex of smaller populations, endangering their survival as they tread the path to extinction.

Populations that fall to extinction vortex already have small populations which is usually as a result of certain powerful genetic factors, which cause the populations to continue to decline in size.

During genetic drift which occurs in all populations, small populations tend to lose genetic diversity as a result of the random nature of gamete sampling.

This is because any change in alleles in a small populations can have dastardly effects on the populations size due to a small gene pool.

Whatts the mechanism behind emotions? why do we have emotions?
Alexeev081 [22]
In biopsychology, there is a system in the brain which is called the limbic system. The limbic system is responsible for one's memory, emotions and instincts -drives.
Many researchers suggest that the existence of emotions helped the animal kingdom to respond to sociality and survive better, emotion can also be translated into care and love. These traits also aid why infants, babies and other offsprings of animals are cared for which has a great influence on the survival of the species.

Amygdala, responsible for pain, aggression and grief which is anterior to the hippocampus factors why our memories have incorporated and is strengthened with emotions at that specific circumstance.
