Question
In India, we find mangoes with different flavours, colours, fibre content, sugar content and even shelf-life. The large variation is on account of
species diversity
induced mutations
genetic diversity
hybridisation
Solution
C.
genetic diversity
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. Variations in the genes of a species increase with the increase in size and environmental parameters of the habitat. It helps in speciation and evolution of new species.
