Want this question answered?
The number one cause of risk to genetic diversity in populations is the size of the population. The smaller the size in an area, the less diverse genetically the population is.
it is the environment. environment is the key point to effect the species' development.
It causes diversity and variation amongst a population
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.

True, as is the opposite
Sex.
The population loses genetic diversity
gene exchange and mutation :)

i do not now

Cloning may be a quick fix to increase the number of individuals. However, numbers are not everything. What is more important to small population sizes is genetic diversity, in other words the amount of genetic variation that exists within a population. Populations with significant reduction in genetic diversity will have a drastically increased likelihood of producing offspring with a recessive genetic disorder (the same reason why inbreeding in humans will likely result in some problem with the child). Besides this, genetic diversity allows populations to adapt in the event of a strong environmental change (e.g. climate change). In other words, if the environment changes, diversity makes it likely at least some of the individuals are adapted to survive.
Genetic diversity refers to the variety of genetic material within a species or population. It includes different gene variations and DNA sequences present within individuals of the same species. Genetic diversity is important for a species' ability to adapt to changing environments and for the overall health and resilience of the population.
Genetic diversity decreases, which can lead to reduced adaptability and resilience to environmental changes, higher risk of inbreeding and genetic disorders, and potentially increased vulnerability to diseases and other threats. Additionally, the chances of recolonization and gene flow between populations are diminished, further limiting the species' ability to recover.
Adaptation: The ability to adjust to changing environmental conditions. Diversity: The range of different species and genetic variations within an ecosystem. Evolution: The process of natural selection and genetic change over time that leads to species' adaptation to their environment.
