Question

Endemic species are more prone to extinction because they are localised.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Organisms are said to be endemic if they are restricted to a particular geographical area. Due to this the chances of their extinction are high. For example, habitat loss is one of the common reasons for organisms to become extinct. Since endemic species are localised, they are more prone to be affected by this.
