Environmental factors and genetics work together in tricky ways, often causing problems for how young plants and animals grow and develop.
Genetic Limitations: Young ones, like plants or animals, get their traits from their parents. But sometimes, these traits don’t help them in a changing world. For example, a plant might be designed to grow really tall. But if the soil doesn’t have enough nutrients, that plant might not do well.
Difficulties in Adaptation: When the environment changes quickly, and genes can't keep up, it can be hard for species to survive. This situation can lead to fewer different types of plants and animals and more species disappearing completely.
Potential Solutions: One way to help is by improving genetic diversity through breeding programs. This means mixing traits to create stronger plants and animals that can adapt better. Teaching communities about conservation is also important. It can help protect habitats that are essential for survival.
By tackling these problems, we can lessen some of the negative impacts on genetics and traits.
