importance
species that contain greater genetic biodiversity are likely to be able to adapt to changes in their environment - less likely to become extinct
likely to be organisms within the population that carry an advantageous allele - enables them to survive in the altered conditions
e.g. potentially fatal disease introduced to a population - all organisms killed unless individuals carry resistance to the disease - those organisms likely to survive the disease and able to reproduce - leads to the survival of the species
