Question 2
2.
How do environmental factors influence genetic diversity?
They change the DNA sequence of genes directly.
Environmental factors have no impact on genetics.
They may favor certain traits over others in populations.
They eliminate all genetic variation entirely.
Question 3
3.
What is a benefit of genetic diversity in populations?
Reduces competition for resources.
Eliminates genetic mutations entirely.
Increases resilience to environmental changes and diseases.
Decreases survival rates of species.
Question 4
4.
How does low genetic diversity affect population survival?
Species can adapt more easily.
It may lead to population decline or extinction risks.
More genetic variation increases survival.
Population numbers will always grow.
Question 5
5.
What role does genetic diversity play in ecosystems?
Stability comes from uniformity in species.
Ecosystems thrive with only a few species.
It promotes resilience and stability within ecosystems.
Less diversity leads to stronger ecosystems.
