Biology Question on Biodiversity and Conservation
What shall be the effect of destruction of wild life:
A
Wild gene of disease resistance will not be obtained
B
Soil erosion
C
Floods
D
Green house effect
Answer
Wild gene of disease resistance will not be obtained
Explanation
Solution
The destruction of wildlife can have various negative effects, but one important consequence is that wild genes of disease resistance may not be obtained. Wild populations often carry genetic diversity that can be crucial for developing disease-resistant strains of plants and animals. The loss of wildlife can limit the genetic resources available for breeding programs aimed at disease resistance.
So, the correct option is (A): Wild gene of disease resistance will not be obtained
