How does genetic divirsity affect species and their ability to survive?
if a species population were exactly the same with no variation then it die out. for example in Ireland during the potato famine, they grew the same potato that all the potatoes got infected with something that wiped out all the crops. Another example if every human had the same immune system then a disease could wipe out the entire human race. So if we where different then the species itself would have a better chance of surviving

Could you die from eating a raw potato in the sun?
Except for the toxic green parts of potatoes, and airborne bacteria that can cause food poisoning, potatoes are not generally lethal. A raw potato in the sun will slowly cook but also dehydrate and shrivel. It is not the healthiest thing to eat, or the most tasty, but seldom life-threatening. The most likely result would be intestinal gas from the undigested parts of the potato.
