Question

Suppose a disease affecting the reproductive system, strikes all individuals of a species. What will happen to the species? Give reasons.

Answer 1

In case a disease affecting the reproductive system strikes every individual of a species, the species will become extinct. This is because such type of disease will affect the ability of organisms to produce young ones. The overall result will be that any member of the species will not be able to give birth to young ones and thus, species will become extinct.
