Latitude and ocean currents are the ones i know.
A high biodiversity tally may indicate that some of its organisms may be able to survive drastic environmental changes. If there weren't at least a few organisms that contribute to biodiversity, most of the biotic Earth would be gone by now.
For example, woolly mammoths were unable to adapt to the up-and-coming warmth of the poles. Because they lacked biodiversity among their species, all of them died out and weren't able to adapt to the heat.
I hope I helped!
The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait. Anyhow, The distribution of phenotypes for a typical polygenic trait can often be expressed as a bell-shaped curve.
Many traits are controlled by two or more genes and are, therefore, called polygenic traits<span>. Each gene of a polygenic trait often has two or more alleles. As a result, one polygenic trait can have many possible genotypes and phenotypes.</span>
Hey, mind putting the question in the replies so I can answer this? Thanks.
