Question
The variety of genes and alleles that exist in organisms.
- Independent assortment
- Chromosomal abnormalities
- Genetic diversity
- Mutations
Hint:
Variable traits occurring within same species.
The correct answer is: Genetic diversity
The difference in physical attributes among the individuals of the same species is a result of genetic diversity. This diversity is necessary foe an organism for differentiation from one another and to survive through unfavorable conditions.
Difference in texture and color of skin and hair, eye color, variations in height and weight among humans are all examples of genetic diversity.
Genetic makeup only decides the fate of survival of the individual in the environment.
- Genetic diversity refers to difference in genetic make up among individuals of the same species
- Genetic diversity decides the fate of survival of the individual
- Different breeds of animals, birds are few examples of genetic diversity
- Independent assortment represents the separation of genes during meiosis
