Chapter 30, Problem 1FIB

Summary Introduction

Introduction:

The variety of all plants and animals living together in ecosystem is called biodiversity. It is of three types: genetic, species and ecosystem, all the living organism are distributed according to their habitat.

Answer to Problem 1FIB

Correct answer:

Three levels of biodiversity are genetic, species, andecosystem if the population of species becomes too small; it is likely to have lost much of its genetic diversity.

Explanation of Solution

Biodiversity is also called biological diversity which contains all type of living organism or life biodiversity is of three types: genetic, species and ecosystem.

Genetic Biodiversity: every living organism have genes in their cells that genes are coded, which make species unique and give special characteristics like blue and brown eye color, long and short height, black and white skin color

Species diversity: The entire living organism like plants, animals, humans, and microorganisms are called species. They all have their unique identity. They all live together in the ecosystem.

Ecosystem biodiversity: it is the biggest biodiversity among all the biodiversity, forest ecosystem, marine ecosystem, desert ecosystem, and freshwater ecosystem are the types of ecosystem, according to the type of the ecosystem species live in the ecosystem, for example, marine species live in a marine ecosystem.

Conclusion

Biodiversity is of three type genetic, species and ecosystem. Different type of species live together in an ecosystem with different genetic variations
