Detailed explanation-1: -Which of the following represents single-species approaches to protecting biodiversity? Captive breeding and cloning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Breeding helps to increase the size of a threatened species population-and captive breeding provides our animals with a safe space to breed and allows young animals to become strong and resilient, before we release them into the wild.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are many positive success stories to the single species conservation approach, for example, the Florida panther (Puma concolor coryi) dwindled to near extinction with just 30 individuals left in the wild, primarily due to habitat fragmentation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic diversity is the variety of genes within a species. Each species is made up of individuals that have their own particular genetic composition.
