Question

Which of the following is not a reason for the loss of biodiversity ?

• A. Invasion of alien species
• B. Coextinction
• C. Fragmentation of habitats
• D. Co-evolution

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Co-evolution

• Co-evolution is the process by which two or more species evolve together, influencing each other's evolution. It is not a reason for the loss of biodiversity.

Reasons for the loss of biodiversity include:

- Habitat destruction

- Overexploitation

- Climate change

- Pollution

- Invasive species

• Co-evolution, on the other hand, can actually promote biodiversity by creating complex interactions between species and driving the evolution of new traits.
