Hello Aspirant,

Hope you are doing great. Individuals within a species or population can differ from one another genetically. It can result from recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis, random mating, random fertilization, and mutation. Genetic diversity describes the variety of unique inherited traits found in a species. There would be a large number of individuals with a diverse range of traits in a species with high genetic diversity. A population must have genetic diversity in order to adapt to ever-changing environments.

ALL THE BEST

Genetic Diversity is the differences in DNA among individuals within a species or population. It can be caused by mutation, random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

Hope this helps.
