JudyGenetic diversity has helped the survival of the rat population. It allows for a wider range of traits within the population, which can help rats adapt to changing environments and resist diseases. Conversely, a lack of genetic diversity can increase vulnerability to threats like diseases or environmental changes.

What is the act of protecting ecosystem diversity?
Conservation Biology. Hope it helped!
How does genetic variation affect population survival?
Imagine you had a bunch of bacteria which grow on glucose. Through a genetic mutation one of them gains the abilitiy to digest galactose also. You might think that sugar is sugar and anyhow, there's always enough glucose for everyone. Generally speaking you're right, and the mutant invests more energy than his colleagues to maintain his mutation, which is a disadvantage under normal conditions. But now imagine an evil scientist, who transfers the bacteria to a galactose-medium: All will starve except mutant, which will grow faster without having neighbours to share his meal with. So the Mutation helped the species to survive.
How have advancements in agriculture and medicine affected the diversity of life on earth?
Advancements in agriculture have led to changes in land use, such as deforestation and monoculture farming, which have reduced biodiversity by destroying habitats and displacing species. However, advancements in medicine have helped to reduce mortality rates, increasing human population and placing pressure on ecosystems and biodiversity through resource consumption and habitat alteration.
What is the possible way to cure genetic disorder?
currently there are no treatments for genetic disorders
What did the hershey-chase blender experiment help prove?
The Hershey-Chase blender experiment helped prove that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material of a bacteriophage. By using radioactive labeling, they were able to track the transmission of genetic material from the virus to the infected bacteria, showing that it was the DNA and not the protein coat that carried the genetic information.
