The development of palm oil plantations in Sumatra has removed areas of forest that provided the habitat for tigers. Explain why planting strips of trees to link the forests would have an effect on the frequency of genetic disorders in these tigers.

Areas of trees linking the remaining patches of forest will mean that the populations of tigers are no longer geogrpahically isolated. therefore they will be able to breed with a larger gene pool and the number of genetic disorders will decrease.
