BIODIVERSITY AND ITS CONSERVATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The variety of genes or inheritable characteristics that are present in a population compromises its:
A
genetic diversity
B
species diversity
C
biome diversity
D
ecosystem diversity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Genetic diversity is the heritable variation among individuals measured as allelic diversity at a broad sampling of genetic loci or as genetic sequence information at the molecular level within populations. Genetic variation occurs among subpopulations as well as within populations.

Detailed explanation-2: -Genetic diversity The variety of genes or inheritable characteristics that are present in a population comprises its genetic diversity.

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 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.

Detailed explanation-5: -For instance, the population of dogs may consist of different breeds of dogs. Genetic diversity (biology definition): the sum of various alleles within a species or a population. Genetic diversity refers to both the vast numbers of different species as well as the diversity within a species.
