Due in part to the Endangered Species Act, roughly 40% of once-declining populations in the United States are now stable.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In recent decades, extinction rates have been significantly lower than normal. Due in part to the Endangered Species Act, roughly 40% of once-declining populations in the United States are now stable. Clone breeding is the process of breeding and raising organisms in controlled conditions.

Detailed explanation-2: -The US Endangered Species Act (ESA) is our nation’s most effective law to protect at-risk species from extinction, with a stellar success rate: 99% of species listed on it have avoided extinction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Species diversity is higher at the equator than at the poles. In biological terms, this is referred to as the latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG), in which the number of species increases from the poles to the Equator. This ranks among the broadest and most notable biodiversity patterns on Earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), plant and animal species may be listed as either endangered or threatened. “Endangered” means a species is in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range. “Threatened” means a species is likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Endangered Species Act is very important because it saves our native fish, plants, and other wildlife from going extinct. Once gone, they’re gone forever, and there’s no going back.
