Biodiversity, or biological diversity, takes into account all the different types of life on Earth and the environments they inh
abit. Many human activities have contributed to the decline of biodiversity and continue to threaten biodiversity. By studying biodiversity at multiple levels, biologists hope to determine how best to slow the extinction rate (the rate at which species disappear) and preserve biodiversity. Biodiversity can be studied at three levels: genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity.
1. The number of habitat types _______ when ecosystem diversity increases
2. Low genetic diversity within a species ________ the likelihood that the species may go extinct.
3. A human activity such as draining a wetland ________ ecosystem diversity
4. Extinction ________ species diversity.
5. High genetic diversity within a species _______ the likelihood that the species can adapt to new environmental conditions.
