Discuss the impact of human activities on the diversity of plants and animals The greater the number of alleles all members of a species possess, the greater the genetic diversity and the greater the genetic diversity the greater the chance of survival. This is due to the fact that larger gene pools results in a wider range of characteristics, and the wider the range of characteristics the greater the probability that a species will possess a characteristic that will aid its survival in an environment

AUSTRALIAN ENDANGERED ANIMALS – CAUSED BY HUMAN IMPACT The Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities (2009) asserts that Australia has 143 endangered animals, several of them are rare and only found in this part of the world. There is a serious concern about this endangerment because a number of these animals could be at a high risk to become extinct. It could cause loss of biodiversity, misbalance in food chains, and irreversible changes to environment. As long
