ZOO 102 Animal Distribution and Biodiversity Conservation in Nigeria Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

Past climate changes such as ice ages often caused populations to survive in isolated pockets called:
Options
A Biogeographic realms
B Refugia
Correct Answer
C Invasive zones
D Oceanic trenches
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

While 'refugia' isn't explicitly in the bulleted text, the concept of fragmented ranges surviving in isolated pockets during ice ages describes the formation of refugia. 'Biogeographic realms' are much larger, global divisions.

Hint

These are 'safe havens' where species survive harsh periods.
