SCIENCE ASSAP
Genetic Diversity
• The variation in genes that exists within a species
• Organisms with a large gene pool have a greater
chance of surviving and flourishing than a
population with limited genetic variability.
• Ex: resistance to disease, tolerance to cold
• Darwin termed this process "natural selection."
To the left you can see the variety of genes that exist
in types of fruit. Can you think of another species
that has similar variations?
