Genetic biodiversity helps individuals compete with each other
Genetic biodiversity helps populations avoid predators
Genetic biodiversity helps individuals produce more offspring
Genetic biodiversity helps populations adapt to environmental changes
The main benefit of genetic biodiversity is that it helps populations adapt to environmental changes. This is because a diverse gene pool provides a wider range of genetic variation, which increases the likelihood of some individuals having traits that are advantageous in a changing environment. These individuals are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on their beneficial traits to future generations. Genetic biodiversity also helps in preventing the accumulation of harmful genetic mutations and in promoting overall population resilience.
