THE TOTAL NUMBER OF DIFFERENT ALLELES IN A POPULATION.
1 of 12
WHAT IS A POPULATION?
A GROUP OF INDIVIDUALS OF THE SAME SPECIES THAT LIVE IN THE SAME PLACE THAT CAN INTERBREED.
2 of 12
THE GREATER THE GENETIC DIVERSITY, THE MORE LIKELY THAT SOME INDIVIDUALS IN A POP. WILL SURVIVE AN ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE. EXPLAIN.
THERE IS A WIDER RANGE OF ALLELES AND THEREFORE A WIDER RANGE OF CHARACTERISTICS. THIS GIVES A GREATER PROBABILITY THAT SOME WILL POSSESS A CHARACTERISTIC THAT SUITS THE NEW ENVIRONMENT.
