The correct answer is: 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.
