Meaning The definition of biodiversity encompasses the degree of variations in organisms and/ or species within an ecosystem. The loss of biodeversity would be the diminishing of dfferent species within that ecosystem. For example‚ a lake may be the home to many types of fish. A change in the lake’s temperature or chemistry may affect a food source for a certain type of fish. This type of fish may die out and leave the lake with one less species in it. The loss of one fish or food source may impact

species will develop different methods of adaptation that enable them to survive in any particular niche. In summary‚ natural selection will drive the adaptation of any given population to fit the number of available niches‚ and this will create the biodiversity that is present in nature. Explain Continued evolution requires a diverse population‚ which provides the raw material on which natural selection can act. As natural selection is the accumulation of random‚ small genetic changes‚ the chances
