Question

Which of the following could cause a species to be vulnerable to extinction? * O high reproductive rate limited, or specific, diet O prefers various habitats O variable migration ​

Answer 1

Answer options:

• high reproductive rate
• limited, or specific, diet
• prefers various habitats
• variable migration ​

Answer:

• limited, or specific, diet

Explanation:

• high reproductive rate - this is beneficial as it means lots of offspring can be produced quickly
• limited, or specific, diet - a limited or highly specific diet reduces the options an animal has for a food source. If something causes that food source to be reduced, the population would be highly vulnerable if there are not other options that it can use in its diet.
• prefers various habitats - this is good as it provides the species with flexibility
• variable migration ​- migration makes the population more dynamic and variable and quick to respond to change
