NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The variety of characteristics in species with high genetic diversity means they are more likely to successfully cope with changes in their environment.

Detailed explanation-2: -According to Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection, organisms that possess heritable traits that enable them to better adapt to their environment compared with other members of their species will be more likely to survive, reproduce, and pass more of their genes on to the next generation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process by which a species becomes fit to its survival in the environment is called adaptability. When the environmental factors change the organism has to adapt to its surrounding by changing its temperature or metabolism over a period of time, Hence adaptability is the result of natural selection.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic variations that alter gene activity or protein function can introduce different traits in an organism. If a trait is advantageous and helps the individual survive and reproduce, the genetic variation is more likely to be passed to the next generation (a process known as natural selection).

Detailed explanation-5: -Maintaining high genetic diversity allows species to adapt to future environmental changes and avoid inbreeding. Inbreeding, which happens when there are small, isolated populations, can reduce a species’ ability to survive and reproduce.
