Reason :Species with low genetic variability are generally are more vulnerable to diseases, predators or other environmental challenges.

Question

Filo · Accepted Answer

Genetic variability in species is defined as individuals differing in genotype, or the presence of genotypically different i.e either the presence of or the generation of, genetic differences.Species with low genetic variability are generally at greater risk of extinction than the species with more genetic variability because Species with low genetic variability are generally are more vulnerable to diseases, predators or other environmental challenges.Hence Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
