Why are the small numbers of surviving tigers a cause of worry from the point of view of genetics?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Small number of tigers means that fewer variations in terms of genes are available. This means that when these tigers reproduce, there are less chances of producing progeny with some useful variations. Hence, it is a cause of worry from the point of view of genetics.
