Methods of measuring ecosystem diversity. Discuss why the variety of genes determines the genetic diversity. Define speciation and the approximate number of species in the biosphere. Use diagrams to define and explain species richness and evenness and the effect on biodiversity.
Define genotype and phenotype using examples. Review how the genotype effects the phenotype which exhibits. Review from biology how the formation of genetic mutations occurs and is transferred by sex cells. Use examples of mutations which are helpful to a species survival
