SC8.4.2.d DOK 1

A2: How can a species become extinct? A. they continue to reproduce Continued reproduction would lead to increasing the species’ population. B. they have sufficient habitat size Having enough habitat space is a requirement for preventing extinction. C. they are able to digest new foods Being able to adapt and eat new things helps a species to survive. D. they are unable to adapt to environmental change Being unable to adapt to environmental changes can cause a species to become extinct. SC8.3.4.b DOK1
