: [[Biodiversity]] within a [[species]] is important to help a [[species]] produce [[health]]y and [[fertile]] [[offspring]]. If a [[species]] is reduced to close family members their [[offspring]] can be deformed or inherit genetic conditions. : To help preserve [[biodiversity]] [[scientist]]s have created [[Gene Banks|gene banks]] where [[Sperm Cell|sperm]], [[Ovum|eggs]] and [[seed]] from many different [[species]] are stored. ===Examples===: Most Labradors have bad hips because they are all descended from a small number of dogs. They don't have enough [[biodiversity]] breed with another labrador with better hips pass on those better hips.: There are so few pandas left in China there is very little [[biodiversity]]. That means if one of them has a genetic condition that makes them unhealthy, this condition will be passed on to most of the pandas in the next few generations, making it even harder for them to survive. ==Key Stage 4=====Meaning===[[Biodiversity]] is the amount of genetic [[variation]] within [[species]] and between different [[species]]. The more genetic [[variation]], the greater the [[biodiversity]]. ===About Biodiversity===: [[Biodiversity]] within a [[species]] is important to help a [[species]] produce [[health]]y and [[fertile]] [[offspring]].: Greater [[biodiversity]] in a [[species]] means there will be greater [[variation]] in that [[species]]. If the [[ecosystem]] changes then a [[species]] with greater [[variation]] can [[evolve]] more quickly and the [[species]] is more likely to survive.: If a [[species]] is reduced to close family members their [[offspring]] can be deformed or inherit better hipsgenetic conditions. ===Extra Information==={{#ev:youtube|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GK_vRtHJZu4}} ===References=======AQA====:[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/1782945598/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=1782945598&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=ad276ad49df77ab4b40ab4fd0fe09717 ''Biodiversity, page 91-94, GCSE Combined Science;
