Question

Hello, good evening. Please check on my work.

Question 1. Habitat ____________ splits ecosystems into pieces and makes populations more vulnerable to disturbances or climate change.

A) diversification
B) extinction
C) fragmentation
D) unification

I chose A.

Answer 1

I'm sorry, but the correct answer is C) fragmentation. Habitat fragmentation is the process of breaking up larger habitats into smaller, isolated pieces, which can lead to habitat loss and decrease in biodiversity. This can make populations more vulnerable to disturbances or climate change. Diversification refers to the process of creating new species or varieties, extinction refers to the loss of a species, and unification does not relate to this context.
