Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic variation is defined as the presence of a various number of alleles with different distribution frequencies in a certain population. Genetic variation simply refers to the variation of genomes at the individual level (i.e., between individuals) or at the species level (i.e. between species populations).

Detailed explanation-2: -The variety of alleles and variation between individuals in a population is known as genetic diversity. Genetic diversity is important because it gives the population the ability to adapt to changes in the environment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic Diversity refers to the range of different inherited traits within a species. In a species with high genetic diversity, there would be many individuals with a wide variety of different traits.

Detailed explanation-4: -The genetic variation of an entire species is often called genetic diversity. Genetic variations are the differences in DNA segments or genes between individuals and each variation of a gene is called an allele.
