What is genetic diversity? Explain.
Genetic diversity: The greater the genetic diversity among organisms of a species, the more sustenance it has against environmental perturbations. The genetically uniform populations are highly prone to diseases and harsh environments. The genetic variation shown by Rauwolfia can be in terms of the concentration and potency of the chemical reserpine. There are more than 50,000 genetically different strains of rice and 1,000 varieties of mango in India.
