Question

Natural habitats that were once large and connected have become more fragmented due to human activities. Wildlife corridors between the fragments of habitat are necessary to maintain wildlife habitat and natural areas.
Which of these is a benefit of wildlife corridors?
I.Allows young adult animals to access a new range.
II. Improves genetic fitness as adult animals interact with potential mates in other areas.

III. Allows plants and animals to colonize new habitat as the climate changes.

• A. I only
• B. II only
• C. III only
• D. I and III only
• E. I, II and Ill

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

I and III only

Wildlife corridors are the areas that link wildlife habitats but are separated by human activities such as roads.

Hence, wildlife corridors between fragments of habitat will allow young adult animals to access a new range and allows plants and animals to colonize new habitat as the climate changes.

So, the correct answer is 'I and III only'.
