Detailed explanation-1: -Biodiversity is a complex term that includes not only the variety of different animals (species diversity) but also the difference between animals of the same species (genetic diversity) and between ecosystems (ecosystem diversity).
Detailed explanation-2: -The genetic diversity has three different sources: mutation, recombination and immigration of genes. Mutation is the driving force of genetic variation and evolution.
Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic diversity is the biological variation that occurs within species. It makes it possible for species to adapt when the environment changes. Genetic diversity is particularly important under rapid environmental change, such as in the Baltic Sea.
Detailed explanation-4: -Traditionally, there are three levels of biodiversity: genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity.
