I wanted to know where in the concepts of genetics 12th edition book can I find the answer to my question? What are the key properties of the genetic code? Given that the genomes of all organisms are made up of As, Ts, Cs, and Gs, how does one account for diversity in organisms? What are some factors that could adversely affect diversity in nature?

Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.
