Question

what are four types of biodiversity?

Answer 1

Answer=
There are four types of biodiversity which are
1. Species diversity
2. Genetic diversity
3. Ecosystem diversity
4. Functional diversity
(Biodiversity is a key measure of the health of any ecosystem, and of our entire planet. Every organism in an ecosystem depend on other organisms and the physical environment.
1. Species diversity:
It diversity between species.
Each ecosystem contains a unique collection of species, all interacting with each other. Some ecosystems may have many more species than another. In some ecosystems, one species has grown so large that it can dominates the natural community. While comparing the biodiversity of ecosystems, an ecosystem that has a large number of species, but no species greatly outnumbering the other, would be considered to have the most species diversity. A large number of species can help an ecosystem recover from ecological threats, even if some species go extinct. It is observed within community. It stands for number and distribution among species.

2.Genetic Diversity:
It is diversity within species.
Genetic diversity describes how closely related the members of one species are in a given ecosystem. if all members have many similar genes, the species has low genetic diversity. Because of their small populations, endangered species may have low genetic diversity due to inbreeding. This can pose a threat to a population if it leads to inheritance of undesirable traits and makes the species more susceptible to disease. Having high genetic diversity helps species adapt to changing environments. Two individuals belonging to same species are similar. Human shows lot of diversity comparison to another human.

3.Ecological Diversity:
It is diversity between ecosystem.
The diversity observed among the ecosystems in a particular region. Different ecosystems like mangroves, rainforests, deserts, etc., show a great variety of life forms residing in them.
The region may have several ecosystems, or it may have one. Wide expanses of oceans or deserts would be examples of regions with low ecological diversity. The mountain area that has lakes, forests and grasslands would have higher biodiversity, in this sense. A region with several ecosystems may be able to provide more resources help species to survive, especially when one ecosystem is threatened by drought or disease.

4.Functional Diversity:
The species obtain food and use the natural resources of an ecosystem is known as functional diversity. In general a species-rich ecosystem is presumed to have high functional diversity, because there are many species with many different behaviors. )
