Genetic diversity refers to the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species, which is essential for populations to adapt to changing environments and ensures long-term survival. High genetic diversity increases a species' ability to withstand diseases and environmental changes, while low diversity can lead to inbreeding and increased vulnerability to extinction.

Species adaptation refers to the process by which a species undergoes changes over generations to better survive and reproduce in its environment. This evolutionary process is driven by natural selection, genetic variation, and environmental pressures, leading to the development of traits that enhance fitness in specific ecological contexts.

Disease resistance refers to the ability of an organism to prevent or overcome infection by pathogens, often through a combination of genetic, physiological, and environmental factors. It plays a crucial role in agriculture, medicine, and ecology by reducing the impact of diseases on crops, livestock, and human populations.

Disease Resistance

Environmental changes refer to the alterations in the natural or human-made environment that can affect ecosystems, biodiversity, and human societies. These changes can be driven by natural processes or human activities, leading to impacts such as climate change, habitat loss, and pollution.

Low genetic diversity

Inbreeding refers to the mating of individuals who are closely related genetically, which can increase the probability of offspring inheriting deleterious recessive traits. While it can lead to a higher expression of desirable traits in certain contexts, it often results in reduced genetic diversity and increased susceptibility to genetic disorders.
