biodiversity hot spots.
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.
Biological diversity refers to the variety and variability of living organisms and ecosystems found on Earth. It includes genetic diversity within species, species diversity within habitats, and ecosystem diversity within landscapes. This diversity is important for ecological balance, resilience, and the functioning of ecosystems.
The measure that relates the number of species in a community to the relative abundance of each species is called species diversity. It takes into account both the variety of species present and how evenly distributed they are within the community.
Species that exhibit multiple sexes, such as some plants and animals, have different reproductive strategies compared to species with only two sexes. These species may have more complex mating systems, with individuals having specific roles in reproduction. They may also have different ways of producing and fertilizing gametes, leading to a wider variety of genetic combinations in offspring. Overall, the presence of multiple sexes can result in greater genetic diversity and potentially more complex social behaviors related to mating and reproduction.
To calculate Simpson's index of diversity, you need to sum the squares of the proportion of each species in a community. The formula is 1 - (pi)2, where pi represents the proportion of each species. The resulting value ranges from 0 (low diversity) to 1 (high diversity).
Yes. This is why bacteria are becoming resistant to antibiotics.
The main difference between genetic diversity and species diversity is that genetic diversity is the differences of DNA among individuals of a particular species whereas species diversity is the variety of species in a particular region. Ecological diversity is the variety of ecosystems in a particular area.Oct 30, 2017
species diversity is the number of species that live in one area (or ecosystem)
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.

Species diversity is the number of different species in a particular area weighted by some measure of abundance such as number of individuals or biomass.
Extinction is the permanent removal of a species which decreases bio-diversity. Bio-diversity is measured in two fashions # of species and # of members/species these two factors together make up a regions bio diversity, therefore with the removal of a species the regions bio-diversity decreases.

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.
