GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Biodiversity includes not only the world’s species with their unique evolutionary histories, but also genetic variability within and among populations of species and the distribution of species across local habitats, ecosystems, landscapes, and whole continents or oceans.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is Biodiversity? Short for biological diversity, biodiversity includes all organisms, species, and populations; the genetic variation among these; and all their complex assemblages of communities and ecosystems.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic diversity is the variety of genes within a species. Each species is made up of individuals that have their own particular genetic composition. This means a species may have different populations, each having different genetic compositions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Biodiversity-short for biological diversity-is the variety of all living things and their interactions. Biodiversity changes over time as extinction occurs and new species evolve. Scientists often speak of three levels of diversity: species, genetic, and ecosystem diversity.
