1621 - What are the three aspects of biodiversity?

Biodiversity has three main aspects:

  1. Genetic Diversity: This refers to the variety of genes within a species or a specific population. It helps them adapt to their environment and makes them stronger.

  2. Species Diversity: This is about the number of different species living in an ecosystem or area. The more species, the healthier the ecosystem is.

  3. Ecosystem Diversity: This refers to the variety of ecosystems or habitats, such as forests, oceans, or deserts. Each ecosystem supports different types of plants and animals.
