Anything that leads to survival and reproductive success is, generally, an intrinsic adaption. If a butterfly were to mimic another butterfly that was poison to it's predators then those self same predators would tend to leave the non-poison butterfly alone as well as the poison butterfly thus leading to survival and reproductive success for the mimic.
Predatory animals that have learned to avoid real poisonous or dangerous animals based on what they look like will also avoid animals of another species that look similar.
Mimicry is important because without mimicry animals will not survive and they will be easy to spot by predators that are near by like carnivores.

true
how does biodiversity in an ecosystem increases the chances of survival for organisms
Actually, sexual reproduction can increase survival of the overall population by creating diversity. It is more effective over asexual reproduction.
The process of learning allows organisms to acquire information from past experiences to adapt to new situations. Animals can learn to hunt and avoid dangerous situations, such as birds learning to avoid cats. Learning enables animals to better obtain food and shelter and it can increase their mating chances.
Quite simply, the better an individual is able to mimic its surroundings, the less likely a predator is to spot it. This gives it a better chance of mating and passing its genes on to the next generation.

The less of a chance of survival there is, the less organisms will survive to sexual maturity (when they are able to reproduce)
