@shamil98 help please?

Answer 2

A diverse population as in let's say just a certain culture or tribe, might me resistant to those possibly because people are immune in adapting different things for the disease.

Answer 3

well actually here
a diverse population would be more resistant to these factors because, the organism number of species in a population can accommodate for losses by predators, resistant to disease because of the high tolerance range each member possesses, different immunity to different diseases and a more diverse population tend to out-compete other invasive species gaining dominance

Answer 4

A more diverse gene pool increases the chance that there will be beneficial mutation and thus protects the entire population against extinction due to diseases due to lack of a certain immunity factor, i.e. a greater T-cell number or the ability to produce a certain antibody.
