Biology Biodiversity and Conservation Biodiversity: Levels and Patterns Single Correct MCQ
Published on: August 21, 2026

When a species goes extinct in one area, it is often desirable to reintroduce the species from other populations. A major problem with this approach is that

A
genetic diseases can easily be introduced when the species is reintroduced.
B
populations are often adapted to local conditions and may not survive when moved to a different location.
C
the community will have adapted to the extinct species' absence. Reproduction may seriously disrupt the community.
D
it is difficult to get an adequate sample of individuals to properly reestablish the population

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
The correct answer is:
B

Reintroduction of a species can fail because populations are locally adapted to specific environmental conditions (climate, soil, food sources, predators).

Other options are either secondary concerns or less critical:

Genetic diseases are possible but manageable.

Community adaptation is usually less of a limiting factor.

Sample size can be addressed with careful planning.
