write the types and examples of biodiversity,
Answers
Answer:
There are 3 types of diversity which are as follows:
Genetic diversity: Genetic diversity refers to the diversity which occurs among the organisms of the same species. For example, the diversity which is found among humans, each human being is different from another.
Species diversity: Species diversity refers to the innumerable species of organisms which are found in nature ranging from plants, animals to microbes.
Ecosystem diversity: Ecosystem diversity refers to the various kinds of the ecosystems which are found in a region. Each ecosystem will have its own characteristic plants, animals, abiotic factors, etc.
Species Diversity
Every ecosystem contains a unique collection of species, all interacting with each other. Some ecosystems may have many more species than another. In some ecosystems, one species has grown so large that it dominates the natural community. When comparing the biodiversity of ecosystems, an ecosystem that has a large number of species, but no species greatly outnumbering the rest, would be considered to have the most species diversity. A large number of species can help an ecosystem recover from ecological threats, even if some species go extinct.
Genetic Diversity
Genetic diversity describes how closely related the members of one species are in a given ecosystem. In simple terms, if all members have many similar genes, the species has low genetic diversity. Because of their small populations, endangered species may have low genetic diversity due to inbreeding. This can pose a threat to a population if it leads to inheritance of undesirable traits or makes the species more susceptible to disease. Having high genetic diversity helps species adapt to changing environments.
Ecosystem Diversity
A region may have several ecosystems, or it may have one. Wide expanses of oceans or deserts would be examples of regions with low ecological diversity. A mountain area that has lakes, forests and grasslands would have higher biodiversity, in this sense. A region with several ecosystems may be able to provide more resources to help native species survive, especially when one ecosystem is threatened by drought or disease.
Functional Diversity
The way species behave, obtain food and use the natural resources of an ecosystem is known as functional diversity. In general a species-rich ecosystem is presumed to have high functional diversity, because there are many species with many different behaviors. Understanding an ecosystem’s functional diversity can be useful to ecologists trying to conserve or restore damaged it, because knowing the behaviors and roles of species can point to gaps in a food cycle or ecological niches that are lacking species.

Answer:
there are three types of diversity which as follow
1)genetic diversity:genetic diversity refers to the diversity occurs among the organisms are in same species, for example:each human being different to another
2)species diversity; species diversity refers to refers to the innumbrable species of organisms which are found in nature ranging from plants,animal to microbes
3)ecosystem diversity:ecosystem diversity refers to the varoius kind of ecosystem which are found in ecosystem we have its own characterstics palnts,animal and abiotic factors.
