    Choose the right one which denotes genetic diversity.

    A)  Chromosomes\[\to \] Nucleotides \[\to \] Genes \[\to \] Individuals \[\to \] Populations

    B)  Populations \[\to \] Individuals \[\to \] Chromosomes\[\to \]Nucleotides \[\to \] Genes

    C)  Genes \[\to \] Nucleotides \[\to \]Chromosomes \[\to \]Individuals \[\to \]Populations

    D)  Nucleotides \[\to \] Genes \[\to \] Chromosome\[\to \] Individuals \[\to \]Populations

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    : Genetic diversity is the diversity in the number and types of genes as well as chromosomes present in different species and the variations in the genes and their alleles in the same species. These variations may occur due to mutation, gene recombination etc. Mutated genes add new alleles to the gene pool which is the raw material for evolutionary change. The accumulation of many mutations at small level (e.g., nucleotide or gene mutation) may add up to large scale changes which finally lead to formation of new species.
