In an ecosystem, a wide range of organisms coexist. In a pond ecosystem, one can find amoebae, bacteria, green algae, and fish. Which of the following is the best conclusion one can make regarding the genetic diversity of these organisms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Amoebae will have the greatest genetic diversity because their genetic makeup allows them to survive in many environments. Bacteria will have the greatest genetic diversity because their high reproductive rate ensures that some will survive. Green algae will have the greatest genetic diversity because they are photosynthetic and do not depend on other organisms to survive. Fish will have the greatest genetic diversity because they receive genetic material from a male and female source

Fish will have the greatest genetic diversity because they receive genetic material from a male and female source-they produce offspring sexually. This will produce more genetic diversity. Asexually will include the bacteria, green algae, amoebae, etc. Offspring in sexually reproduction create similar looks, as the parents. This will create less diversity. Hope that helps! n_n
