Explanation:

Detailed explanation-2: -Between any two humans, the amount of genetic variation-biochemical individuality-is about . 1 percent. This means that about one base pair out of every 1, 000 will be different between any two individuals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic variation is a term used to describe the variation in the DNA sequence in each of our genomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. Genetic diversity is critical for a population to adapt to changing environments.
