Question

What are the three types of biodiversity?

Answer 1

The three types of biodiversity are as follows:

1. Genetic biodiversity

• Genetic biodiversity simply refers to the total number of genetic characteristics which are present in the genetic make up of a species.
• It has a very wide range and it varies from the number of species and it can also be attributed to the survival span of the species.

2. Species biodiversity

• It refers to the total number as well as the abundance of the species which is found in the given biological organisation which can be a population, ecosystem or even on the earth.

3. Ecological biodiversity

• Ecological diversity simply refers to the diversity or variation in both the terrestrial as well as the aquatic ecosystems.
• It can very well take into consideration the variation and the complexity of the biodiversity.
