QQuestion
The cause of biodiversity on earth is ____ .
✓Answer
The cause of biodiversity on earth is variation.
Explanation:
Biodiversity refers to the variety of life forms present on earth. This diversity arises mainly due to variation at the genetic, species, and ecosystem levels. Variations are differences in inherited traits resulting from mutations, genetic recombination, and evolutionary processes, enabling organisms to adapt to different environments and leading to a wide range of species and genetic diversity.
