Answer 2

Answer:

Genetic diversity as the number of different alleles of genes in a population. Genetic diversity is a factor enabling natural selection to occur

. Ex - Different breeds of dogs. Dogs are selectively bred to get the desired traits. Different varieties of rose flower, wheat, etc. There are more than 50,000 varieties of rice and more than a thousand varieties of mangoes found in India.

Explanation:

Genetic diversity is important because it helps maintain the health of a population, by including alleles that may be valuable in resisting diseases, pests and other stresses.  If the environment changes, a population that has a higher variability of alleles will be better able to evolve to adapt to the new environment.
