What shall be the effect of destruction of wild life :
A
Wild genes of disease resistance will not be obtained
B
Soil erosion
C
Floods
D
Green house effect
Detailed Solution
Wild plants and animals are a valuable source of genes, e.g. for disease and pest resistance, drought tolerance and nutritional quality, which breeders use to improve crops and livestock.
If wild life is destroyed, these wild genes are lost forever and cannot be used for crop improvement.
Soil erosion, floods and the greenhouse effect are mainly results of deforestation rather than of the loss of wild species as such.
So the effect of destruction of wild life is that wild genes of disease resistance will not be obtained.
