Which of the following is not true for a critically endangered species?
1
Reduction of population breeding ability due to increased relatedness through the action of incompatibility mechanisms in plants or behavioural difficulties in animals.
2
The individuals of the species which have declined to low numbers are still a genetically open system.
3
Loss of some alleles from the species causing loss of genetic diversity with consequent inability to respond rapidly to selection.
4
Expression of deleterious alleles and increased homozygosity increases mortality of young, and inbreeding depression leads to reduced offspring fitness.
