Which of the following is an example of a change in the number of individuals of a species due to environmental conditions?

• A drought leads to a decrease in the frog population.
  

• A new predator species is introduced, causing an increase in prey.
  

• The extinction of a species due to overfishing.

•  Speciation occurring over thousands of years.

How can varying environmental conditions lead to the extinction of a species?

• By increasing food resources.

• By creating a new habitat.

• By altering the species’ genetic makeup.
  

• By introducing a disease that the species cannot adapt to.
