Genetic variability

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Genetic variability: The amount by which individuals in a population differ from one another due to their genes, rather than their environment. The study of genetic variability is that of population genetics.

The first of Bosselman's biodiversity puzzles reads "To what extent does a lack of genetic variability itself threaten a species or population’s existence? How much should genetic variability be protected?" [1].
