• False

• True

• False

A species with a low level of genetic diversity has a higher chance of becoming extinct than a species with a high level of genetic diversity.

• True

• False

The sustainable use of natural resources is one way to conserve an area's biodiversity.

• True

• False

The decline of a single species in an ecosystem rarely affects the other species living in that ecosystem.

What does the graph tell you?

• the further from the island, the more biodiversity

• the larger the islet, the more biodiversity

• islet size and biodiversity are not related

• biodiversity decreases with islet size
