Question

1. what is the advantage of a diverse gene pool for a particular population? increases a populations chances of extinction increases a populations chances of equilibrium increases a populations chances of migration increases a populations chances of survival

Explanation:

A diverse gene pool means there are many different alleles (versions of genes) in a population. This genetic variation provides more options for traits. When the environment changes (e.g., a new disease, climate change), a population with a diverse gene pool is more likely to have some individuals with traits that allow them to survive and reproduce. For example, if a plant population has diverse genes related to drought resistance, when a drought occurs, some plants may have the right genetic makeup to withstand it. In contrast, a population with a limited gene pool (low genetic diversity) has fewer trait options. If the environment changes in a way that the limited traits can't handle (e.g., a new pest that the few - trait population has no resistance to), the population may die out. So, a diverse gene pool is crucial for a population's long - term survival.

Answer:

increases a population's chances of survival
