1. Genetic Diversity:
The most important and pivotal element in biodiversity is the Genetic diversity (Gaston, 1996; Mallet, 1996). The “fine scale” level of biodiversity is measure in the multiplicity of expressed genes or meticulous featured attribute in the midst of organisms (Williams et al, 1996). Genetic diversity denotes the peculiarity within species in the purposeful units of heredity existing in any plant, animal, microbial or any other source of life. However as a crucial unit for measuring and assessing biodiversity it has formerly been dismissed as too difficult task and costly to exercise or execute (Moritz,1994; Nagar 2005).
Differences between individual organisms have two causes: variation in the genetic material which all …show more content…
It covers a general aspect of genetic differentiation between distinct populations of the same species. It can be a new genetic variation to be produced in population of organisms that can reproduce sexually by recombination and in individuals by gene and chromosome mutations. During sexual reproduction, progeny alleles from both parents and these have been migrated or hybridized, so that it may come from different populations and gene pools (Nee, 2004). Harmless mutation and sexual recombination may consent to the advancement of new-fangled …show more content…
It reflects the comparative abundance with which every species is represented in an area. There are also an additional measurements of species diversity is the species consistency. An ecosystem where all the species are represented by the same number of individuals has high species evenness (Forman, 1996). Species richness and species evenness are in all probability the most regularly used measurements of the total biodiversity of expanse (Hunter, et al, 1996).
Species diversity is inclined by species richness and also influenced by the relative abundance. It measures the variation in the species that originate in a community. Communities with less variation in the relative abundance of species and are considered to be more “even” than a community with more variation in relative abundance (Beals et. al, 1998). The biological species concept explicitly says, “Species are groups of actually or potentially interbreeding natural populations which are reproductively isolated from other such groups” (Mayr and Ashlock,
