Answer 1

Answer:

The correct options are:

B) Species can dwindle to extinction due to inbreeding.

D) Species can dwindle to extinction because people can eliminate them.

E) Species can dwindle to extinction due to loss of genetic variation.

Explanation:

Inbreeding reduces the fitness of a population of species, lowers variation of genes which leads to depression and as such gradual inability to survive.

Human activities have also been known to contribute to the erosion of species. Data suggests that approximately thirty-thousand may be at risk as a result of the activity of the human race.
