Basic Biology Genetic diversity describes the genetic differences seen among members of a population. What this means that that every individual on the planet is different from one another in some way. This is because we have either high genetic diversity‚ or a low genetic diversity‚ which is seen through the size of the gene pool from which we came. If we happen to live in a gene pool that has a high concentration of genetic diversity‚ then we are more like to have many different genetic combinations
