What causes diversity of organisms?
the genetic variation isappearanceor the genes members of the same species of the same group.
What are the three types of bio diversity?
Genetic Diversity: the sum of all the different genes in a particular species (species: group of the same type of organisms that can easily breed and produce offspring) -there are small variances in organisms of the same species (ie height, colour). These small differences can help the species to adapt to the constantly changing world. -may help survival rate of species (monoculture vs. rich diversity species) Species Diversity: variety of species and relative abundance to the species living together in the same area. Having the variety of species live together may contribute to their health and sustainability to the ecosystem. Structural (Ecosystem) Diversity: variety of habitats, the different species that live in that habitat, and the relationships that connect the different species together.
What is true about the gene pool and genetic diversity?
A diverse community is a community populated by people from many different backgrounds; differences in background such as social, economic, religious, ethnic, or country of origin.
What role does genetics play in the diversity of a species?
Genetic mutations overtime can have a great deal of effects on population over time, DNA can mutate to fight off certain disease's or they could even cause the human body not to be able to fight off certain disease's
How might the world be different without sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction is important because it allows genetic diversity to thrive in a species. On the opposite end of the spectrum, one of the reasons that asexual reproduction is so bad is because the species ends up with multiple copies of the same genes. If those genes happen to be mutations that are harmful, eventually the species will go extinct.

What are relationship between ecosystem diversity and species diversity?
Genetic Diversity: 1. It is related to number of genes and their alleles found in organisms. 2. It is trait of the species. 3. It influences adaptability and distribution of a species in diverse habitats. Species Diversity: 1. It is related to number and distribution of species found in an area. 2. It is trait of the community. 3. It influences biotic interactions and stability of the community.

How are genes selected during meiosis?
it is completely random which is a huge influence for species diversity
Give three types of biodiversity essential in preserving ecological systems and functions?
Three types of biodiversity that are essential in preserving ecological systems and functions are genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecological diversity. Genetic diversity is a measure of the variety of versions of the same genes within individual species. Species diversity describes the number of different kinds of organisms within a community or ecosystem. Ecological diversity means the richness of complexity of a biological community.
How come there is variation of species?
Some reasons:Sexual reproduction exchanges genes every generationmutationstranscription errorsretroviruses can move genes across species linesbacteria increase their diversity by exchanging plasmids (sometimes across species lines)etc.
What is the difference between genetic biodiversity and ecological biodiversity?
Species diversity is the number of different species in a particular area (species richness) weighted by some measure of abundance such as number of individuals or biomass. However, it is common for conservation biologists to speak of species diversity even when they are actually referring to species richness.

Why fertilized human is important?
Fertilization is important so species can have genetic variation. It is also important so the species can pass on their genes.
When a species of organism only reproduces asexually. due to a change in the environment some organisms are starting to die. predict how the other organisms of the species will do?
A. they will probably die because they have the same genes
If organisms have the same life characteristics what makes every species unique?
The sum total of all the genes of each species makes every species unique.
