BIO 130 WEEK 5 DISCUSSION I Please post your initial response to the question below by Thursday or earlier so we can have a discussion. Your initial response should be a minimum of 150 words. As per your syllabus, you need to have a minimum of 2 substantive posts in each standard discussion board every week to receive full credit. I am sure you have heard the saying, "Variety is the Spice of Life." Not only does variety (otherwise known as diversity) make life interesting, it makes life possible. There are levels of diversity from the species level and individual level, all the way down to the genetic level. Genetic diversity is crucial to the survivability of most multi-cellular species. Explain why this is true and how methods by which genetic diversity is increased in a population. Give an example of a species who has limited genetic diversity, explain how this has occurred and the ramifications of this lack of diversity on the species' future. Warmest Regards, Shannon Unger
