What Is Genetic Diversity Within A Single Species?

Ever wondered why some populations thrive while others struggle, even within the same species? It often comes down to the fascinating concept of genetic diversity, a cornerstone of ecological resilience and evolution. This video illuminates why understanding genetic diversity is crucial for species survival and ecosystem health, covering: ► The fundamental definition of genetic diversity and its importance within a single species. ► How genetic variation allows species to adapt to changing environments and overcome challenges. ► Real-world examples of how low genetic diversity can lead to population vulnerabilities and extinction risks. ► The critical role genetic diversity plays in preventing inbreeding and maintaining species fitness. #GeneticDiversity, #WildlifeConservation, #Ecology, #Biodiversity, #Evolution
