To explain:
Genetic diversity refers to the variety of ecosystems that are present in the biosphere.
Introduction:
The term Biodiversity is referred to as the different variety of life forms in an area. This comprises of a number of different species present in that particular area. Biodiversity of an area depends on various factors such as environmental conditions, dominating species, etc. among these the environmental conditions play the key role. There are usually three types of biodiversity in the environment viz. Genetic diversity, Species diversity and Ecosystem diversity.
Explanation of Solution
Genetic diversity of an area can be termed as the total variety of genes or the heritable characters/factors which are present in the population at a particular area. Genetic diversity depends on several factors such as breeding, migration, etc. when any species breeds by out-breeding methods where the member of a species mate with a member of a different population of the same species or with sub-species. This can increase the heterozygosity of the genes/alleles and therefore the genetic diversity. Whereas, in-breeding increases the homozygosity of genes/alleles which in turn decreases genetic diversity.
The migration of the species out from an area decreases genetic diversity, whereas migration into an area increases the genetic diversity of that area.
Whereas Ecosystem diversity is referred to as the variety of ecosystems that are present in a biosphere. The ecosystem can be defined as the interaction of any species/population with its biotic as well as abiotic factors. Various ecosystems contain a variety of organisms and the corresponding abiotic factors.
Biodiversity plays a crucial role in the stability of the environment, biospheres and providing economic values to humans directly or indirectly. Humans get food and nutrition from plants and animal species. Various medicinal plant species helps in developing traditional as well as allopathic medicines. Indirectly humans get oxygen from plants. Plants also help in maintaining the proper precipitation, droughts and soil erosion.
Therefore, healthy biodiversity is the demand of hour as there is a continuous increase in global warming, climate change, floods, etc.

- "Which of the following about transposable elements (TEs) is false?" RNA transposons move using an RNA intermediate. DNA transposons make up 3% of the human genome but are disruptive. Genes can move within the same chromosome via TEs. The Drosophila P element can only move in germline cells.

Mark all correct answers. antibody was non-specific and bound to something other than the antigen of interest. too short of a duration when incubating the reagents in the plate. If there are multiple strains of the pathogen of interest and the antibody does not recognize one of the strains. Did not sample the correct bodily fluid/area to detect the antigen concentration of antigen was too low to detect in the patient sample. inadequate washing was performed after the enzyme linked antibody was allowed to bind. substrate was exposed to too much light reusing a pipette that was used to pipette a positive sample.arrow_forward
