Question

How do humans impact genetic diversity?

Answer 1

Loss of genetic biodiversity by humans: -

1. Human activities frequently augment drift and restrict gene flow for many species, thereby reducing genetic variation in local populations.
2. They prevent the spread of adaptation complexes outside their population of origin, altering local and global adaptive processes within a species.
3. Biodiversity, or the variety of all living creatures in our world, has been rapidly dropping in recent years, owing mostly to human activities.
4. These activities include land-use changes, pollution, climate change, etc.
