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?

Question

anonymous · Answer

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.
 Bacteria will have the greatest genetic diversity because their high reproductive rate ensures that some will survive.
 Amoebae will have the greatest genetic diversity because their genetic makeup allows them to survive in many environments.

I think it would be A How about you?

dang thats long Lol

anonymous · Answer

Genetic diversity is highly pronounced through mitosis and meiosis. Knowing this, which species would exhibit diverse genetic sequences?

Hint: The species that perform sex as their main mode of reporduction is usually the most diverse. Think of how many variations of fish there are.

B bc you said fish Lol

Is that right?

anonymous · Answer

Yes, that's right. Just remember that genetic diversity usually results from sexual reproduction. Think of how many different races and sub-races of humans live on this planet.
