Genetic diversity

Explanation:

To begin with, it is essential to understand the scope of genetic diversity.

Genetic diversity is defined as the sum of the varying genetic components and features in the genetic make up of an organism. Genetic variation is often a precursor to genetic diversity. The genetic variation simply convey the idea that genetic features and attributes tend to vary and/or change in view of changing realities.

Studies in varying shades have shown that disruption in global climate changes is one of the most singular threats to biodiversity.

An increased level in human growth and population have brought about a disproportionate increase in greenhouse emission or gases, which is a stirring factor for climate changes. An induced emission or gases caused by humans biological changes vis-a-vis production of carbon elements has always been a Filip to global climate disruption.

Effectively, this exhaust caused by exploding population and an unrestrained human endeavor has been a driving factor for genetic disorder in view of changes in genetic components, ultimately leading to genetic variability. Mutation, fertility issues are one of the products of this emerging realities. With genetic variability comes genetic diversity. Hence, a population is thus under threat in view of the genetic diversity vis-à-vis ensuing genetic variation.

B. Genetic specialization

Explanation:

The characteristic of a population that would most affect the survival of a species, threatened by global climate change is genetic specialization.

Genetic specialization is the term that refers to the forced adaptation that a species has to undergo in order to survive in a given environment. in the case of a region with constant global changes, genetically specialized species may find it difficult to find the food necessary for their survival, and even fail to establish effective reproduction. Thus, the birth rate within this species will be much lower than the mortality rate, and may threaten the survival of the species.
