Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The different genes or inheritable characteristics in a population is known as its ____
A
Genetic diversity
B
Genetics
C
Genetic drift
D
Natural Selection
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic diversity is defined as genetic variability present within species. Genetic variation is caused due to mutations and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis at the time of gamete formation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Genetic Diversity is the diversity of genetic characteristics (expressed or recessive) within a species (i.e. between individuals and populations of the same species).

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic diversity refers to the total number of genetic components in the genetic composition of a species. Genetic diversity arises due to the recombination, mutation, random mating and such related activities. 1.

Detailed explanation-5: -Genetic variation is a measure of the genetic differences that exist within a population. 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.
