Please help **Question 7**Why does low biodiversity in an ecosystem tend to increase the proportion of ticks carrying Lyme disease?- ⦿ missing/decreased populations of species that eat ticks and prevent them from passing on the disease AND higher populations of disease reservoirs like mice- ⭘ a decrease in the number of naturally occurring plant-derived medicines- ⭘ fewer large animals (which provide disease reservoirs) and increased number of domestic animals which are vaccinated- ⭘ decreased diversity of other bacteria, reducing bacterial competition and allowing the disease to flourish

Step 1

Biodiversity is the variety of species existing on the earth. It reflects organization of organisms at different levels. Different species play a particular role in the ecosystem. A diverse ecosystem is more productive and can tolerate environmental stress. Without a stable ecosystem, humans cannot survive.

Biodiversity is of three types:

Genetic biodiversity: It is the variation in the genetic information among different organisms.
Species biodiversity: It is the variety of different types of species found in a particular area.
Ecological biodiversity: It is the variation in plants and animal species living together in an ecosystem.
