    • genetic diversity is the number of different alleles of genes in a population
    • natural selection can only occur if there is genetic diversity
    • natural selection is a process that results in species becoming better adapted to their environment and leads to evolution in populations
    • evolution is the change in allele frequency over many generations in a population
