Question

question 9 of 20 : select the best answer for the question. 9. scientists are studying diversity of disease prevalence in golden retrievers. what type of diversity are they studying? a. genetic b. species c. ecosystem d. biotic

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Genetic diversity relates to genetic variation within a species (like golden retrievers). Disease prevalence diversity in a single species (golden retrievers) can be linked to genetic differences among them.
• Option B: Species diversity is about different species in a community, not within one species.
• Option C: Ecosystem diversity is about different ecosystems, not relevant here.
• Option D: Biotic factors are living components of an ecosystem, not related to diversity of disease in one species.

So the correct answer is A as it fits the study of diversity (genetic) within golden retrievers affecting disease prevalence.

Answer:

A. Genetic
