how can genetic biodiversity be assessed
determining the number of alleles at different loci within a given species
the more genetic variation within a species there is…
…the more biodiverse the species is
what is polymorphism
where a species has a number of different forms
like snails with different colour shell
how can genetic polymorphism be assessed
determining the number of alleles at any one gene locus and the proportion of the population that has that particular allele
how else can genetic biodiversity be measured
taking samples of DNA from individuals in a population and determine DNA sequences and doing DNA fingerprinting
will shows similarities and differences in base sequences - the more variation in base sequences, the more genetic biodiversity in the species
