In an ecosystem, a wide range of organisms coexist. In a pond ecosystem, one can find amoebae, bacteria, green algae, and fish. Which of the following is the best conclusion one can make regarding the genetic diversity of these organisms?

Amoebae will have the greatest genetic diversity because their genetic makeup allows them to survive in many environments.

Bacteria will have the greatest genetic diversity because their high reproductive rate ensures that some will survive.

Green algae will have the greatest genetic diversity because they are photosynthetic and do not depend on other organisms to survive.

Rodents will have the greatest genetic diversity because they receive genetic material from two sources.

I think it might be the last one

The correct answer is bacteria!

Moore · Answer 2

I would say it would be the bacteria, because no matter where you go there would always be bacteria and if one survives you wont get rid of it. thats my answer
