What is the role of conservation to preserve the genetic diversity of plants and animals?

To avoid the bottleneck effect, where there's a "funneling" of the amount of genetic diversity available in a species. Less diversity means less plasticity and could mean less means to adapt and evolve.

What is Bio conservation?
bio conservation is the protection of global biodiversity starting at local, regional and global communities, ecosystems and cultures and apply to both plants and animals biodiversity has 3 components: 1- Genetic diversity 2 - species diversity 3- community/ecosystem diversity bio conservation aims to protect each of these 3 aspectss

How can flora be conserved?
Flora is basically the plant life that is present in a particular region or habitat or at a particular time and fauna is the animal life that is present in a particular region or habitat or at a particular time. Biodiversity is a very large topic and somewhat difficult to define adequately in only a sentence or two. In the very simplest terms, "biodiversity" means the diversity of life on our planet, which includes genetic diversity, species diversity, and habitat diversity. India is a land of varied flora, fauna and biodiversity. India is one of the twelve megadiverse nations of the World Conservation of biological diversity leads to conservation of essential ecological diversity to preserve the continuity of food chains. The genetic diversity of plants and animals is preserved. It ensures the sustainable utilisation of life support systems on earth. It provides a vast knowledge of potential use to the scientific community. A reservoir of wild animals and plants is preserved, thus enabling them to be introduced, if need be, in the surrounding areas. Biological diversity provides immediate benefits to the society such as recreation and tourism. Biodiversity conservation serves as an insurance policy for the future.

How do captive breeding programs affect genetic diversity?
Captive breeding programs can affect genetic diversity in one of two ways. Within the program itself, genetic diversity is reduced, because captive breeding programs only have a limited number of animals to work with. On the other hand, animals from a captive breeding program that are re-introduced to the wild can increase genetic diversity, because they are bringing genes that may have been gone for a long time back into the gene pool.
How is biological diversity measured?
Genetic variability of a speciesSpecies diversity (how many species of all animals, plants etc there are in a biological community)The diversity of biological communities in a (larger) area
How is genetic diversity beneficial to species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity beneficial a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity to beneficial to a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
What is a type of diversity that includes all forms of genetic information?
Genetic diversity
