Chapter 40, Problem 21WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that the recovery is difficult for species such as cheetahs, that are nearly extinct. Consider the basics of bottleneck effect.
Concept introduction:
The phenomenon in which the few members of a species can interbreed with one another and cause a loss in the total amount of different traits of genetics is known as bottle neck effect.
