The genetic diversity of domesticated crop plants and animals is generally compared to wild plants and animals. a. lower b. higher c. zero d. approximately the same

The correct answer is a. lower

Explanation:

The genetic diversity of domesticated crop plants and animals is generally lower than that of wild plants and animals because in domesticated plants human reduces the genetic diversity by selecting and reproducing only those individual who have some particular trait that is beneficial for humans.

So by selfing these crops and animals, genetic diversity gets reduced in them as compared to wild plants. This reduces the genetic diversity because many other important traits which were present in wild type lost during time in domesticated crop.

one characteristic that is shared by all is a soft body. many

of these invertebrate animals also have an outer shell to protect their

body. oysters, clams, snails, and mussels are all mollusks. so are octopuses, squids, and slugs. mollusks live on land and in freshwater.
