Hey friend here is your answer

Question - What is genetic diversity? Give its significance.

Answer :-) Genetic diversity is the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of geneticcharacteristics to vary. Genetic diversity serves as a way for populations to adapt to changing environments.

Genetic diversity is the sum of genetic information contained in the genes of individual plants, animals, and micro-organisms. Each species is the storehouse of an immense amount of genetic information in the form of traits, characteristics, etc.
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.
