The levels of classification for all organisms is as following (from broadest to narrowest) Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species. So organisms that have the same species will be most alike.
The three levels of biological diversity are:Genetic diversitySpecies diversity, andCommunity and ecosystem diversity.
Diversity is the number of different role players (species) in an area. I like to think of diversity in the form of niches. The number of niches being filled in an ecosystem is directly related to the diversity.
This is called the hierarchy of biological classification., going from most member to a specific member. Staring with the most general: life, domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species.
Lack of genetic diversity can becomes a problem when a species is hit with infectious diseases. If all the organisms are very similar, then it is very likely that they will all be affected by the same disease, thus destroying the species as a whole. In species with high amounts of genetic diversity, a disease may destroy a section of the population, but many individuals will be resistant to the disease.
Biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of life forms within an ecosystem or a community. It encompasses different species, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity.
Genetic diversity encompasses the variety of genes within a species or population, including different alleles, gene variations, and genetic traits. It is essential for adaptation, evolution, and overall species resilience.
Biodiversity encompasses a range of variation, including genetic diversity, species diversity, and ecosystem diversity. Genetic biodiversity refers to the variety and variability of genes within a species or population, which is crucial for adaptation and survival. Therefore, genetic biodiversity is a component of overall biodiversity, but they are not the same thing.

Biodiversity refers to the number and variety of species that live in a specific area. It encompasses not only the diversity of species, but also genetic diversity within each species and the variety of ecosystems present.
Morphological diversity refers to the range of physical characteristics and structures observed within a group of organisms. It encompasses variations in size, shape, color, and other features that can be used to distinguish different species or individuals within a species. Study of morphological diversity is important in understanding evolutionary relationships and adaptation to different environments.
Biodiversity refers to the variety and abundance of living organisms in the biosphere. It encompasses the different species, genetic diversity within species, and the various ecosystems where they live.
Insects are the taxonomic group that displays the greatest diversity on Earth. They make up the largest group of animals and are found in nearly every environment, with estimates of millions of species still undiscovered.
Probably the ocean biome, but the rain forest biome on land would have the highest species diversity.
The main difference between genetic diversity and species diversity is that genetic diversity is the differences of DNA among individuals of a particular species whereas species diversity is the variety of species in a particular region. Ecological diversity is the variety of ecosystems in a particular area.Oct 30, 2017
species diversity is the number of species that live in one area (or ecosystem)
