What to Focus On

  • Biodiversity includes genetic, species, and ecosystem diversity.
  • It also includes interactions among organisms within ecosystems.
  • High biodiversity supports ecosystem stability and resilience.
  • The three main types are genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity.
  • Genetic diversity is variation within a species.
  • Species diversity depends on richness and evenness.
  • Genetic diversity helps adaptation and survival.
  • Mutations, gene flow, genetic drift, and sexual reproduction create genetic diversity.
  • In-situ conservation protects species in natural habitats.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Biodiversity means only the number of species in an area.

Genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity are extra examples, not the main types of biodiversity.

Genetic diversity means different species in an ecosystem.
