11.5 Calculaitng Genetic Biodiversty

Question 1

What do alleles do to the genetic biodiversity

Answer 1

It creates geneti biodiversity within the species
The more alleles present in population the more genetically biodiverse the population is

Question 2

Species that have greater genetic biodiversity are what

Answer 2

They are more likely to be able to adapt to changes in environment and are less likley to become extinct
This is because they are likely to be organisms within the population that Cary an advantageous allele allowing them to survive in altered conditions

Question 3

What facttors increase genetic biodiversity biodiversity

Answer 3

For genetic biodiversity to increase number of possible allies in a population must increase this can occur through
- mutations in the dna of an organisms creating new organisms
- interbreeding between different population due to gene flow

Question 4

Wat factors decrease genetic biodiversity

Answer 4

Selective breeding
Captive breeeding
Rare breeding
Natural selection
Genetic bottleneck

Question 5

Measuring genetic biodiversity

Answer 5

Measuring polymorphism
