Why are the small numbers of surviving tigers a cause of worry from the point of view of genetics?
Small numbers of surviving tigers are the cause of worry from the point of view from genetics because these populations carry some genes which help them to survive in the environment changes, which is important for the evolution of the tiger's population. Small number of tiger populations indicates less variation which is important for survival. If in case, any drastic condition like natural calamity, diseases, or hunting occurs then the small numbers of surviving tigers can be on the stage of extinction or can be fully extinct from the environment and their genes will be lost forever.
