Genetic Diversity

Genetic diversity means the variation of genes within the species for eg. In human
species genetic variation between an Indian and African and genetic variations
within a population (within the Indian population) can be seen. In simple terms,
genetic matter dictates whether the person have blue or brown eyes, brown or
black hair and tall or short.
Genetic diversity can be identified by using a variety of DNA based and other
techniques. One estimate is that there are 1000 crores of different genes
distributed across the worlds. Biota though they do not all make an identical
contribution to overall genetic diversity.
