It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary. Research has found that genetic diversity and biodiversity are dependent upon each other, that diversity within a species is necessary to maintain diversity among species, and vice versa. If any one type is removed from the system, the cycle can break down, and the community may become dominated by a single species. Thus, genetic diversity plays a huge role in survival and adaptability of a species. This book provides research on genetic diversity in plant, animal and human species. Relationships to environment changes and global warming are also studied."--Publisher's description.Genetics--research and issues series.Variation (Biology)GeneticsResearchVariation (Biology)GeneticsResearch.576.5/8Mahoney Conner L1514510Springer Douglas A1514511MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792337403321Genetic diversity3749689UNINA
