A disease enters a population where nearly every individual has the same genes. Explain why this could be dangerous.
Low genetic diversity means fewer genetic differences that might allow some individuals to survive the disease
Temperature, precipitation, sunlight, and wind belong to this category of environmental factors.
Abiotic factors
Explain why secondary succession usually happens faster than primary succession.
