Answer:
The correct answer is a. Reduction in species diversity
Explanation:
In habitat fragmentation, the large area of forest is divided into many smaller patches which reduce the area of habitat for species live there. This Fragmentation of habitat occurs mainly due to human activities like making highways and roads in the area.
This separates species member from each other which reduces the gene flow between that which can lead to inbreeding depression in a species and extinction of species can occur.
Cutting trees and human activities can alter the environment negatively which can cause extinction of some species that reduce species diversity. So the correct answer is a.
Answer:
about the Trilobites is =Trilobites ( /ˈtraɪləˌbaɪt, ˈtrɪ-, -loʊ-/;[4][5] meaning "three lobes") are a group of extinct marine artiopodan arthropods that form the class Trilobita. Trilobites form one of the earliest-known groups of arthropods. The first appearance of trilobites in the fossil record defines the base of the Atdabanian stage of the Early Cambrian period (521 million years ago), and they flourished throughout the lower Paleozoic before slipping into a long decline, when, during the Devonian, all trilobite orders except the Proetida died out. The last extant trilobites finally disappeared in the mass extinction at the end of the Permian about 252 million years ago. Trilobites were among the most successful of all early animals, existing in oceans for almost 300 million years.[6] . and about the algae is =Algae (/ˈældʒi, ˈælɡi/; singular alga /ˈælɡə/) is an informal term for a large and diverse group of photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms. It is a polyphyletic grouping that includes species from multiple distinct clades. Included organisms range from unicellular microalgae, such as Chlorella and the diatoms, to multicellular forms, such as the giant kelp, a large brown alga which may grow up to 50 metres (160 ft) in length. Most are aquatic and autotrophic and lack many of the distinct cell and tissue types, such as stomata, xylem and phloem, which are found in land plants. The largest and most complex marine algae are called seaweeds, while the most complex freshwater forms are the Charophyta, a division of green algae which includes, for example, Spirogyra and stoneworts.
Explanation:
Answer:
The number of habitats falls below a critical level.
Explanation:
The possible reason for extinction is that the number of habitats falls below a critical level. This makes it impossible for organisms to survive.
- A habitat is the dwelling place of living organism in an ecosystem.
- The resources and other materials that ensures the survival of an organism are made available in the habitat.
- When a habitat begins to thin out and can no longer support organisms, then extinction will ensue.
