Genetic diversity refers to the variation in the genetic characteristics of individuals within a species or population.

Selective breeding, while it can reduce genetic diversity within a population, is not considered a major threat to genetic diversity on a global scale.

Genetic prospecting refers to the systematic search for genetic resources in natural populations.

The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) is an international agreement that aims to conserve biodiversity and ensure the sustainable use of genetic resources.

Genetic engineering involves the manipulation of an organism's genetic material to alter its traits or characteristics.

Genetic diversity is not directly linked to the reduction of genetic disorders, which are primarily caused by specific genetic mutations or defects.

Gene banking involves the storage of genetic material, such as DNA or seeds, for future use.

While genetic diversity is important for developing new crop varieties, the production of GMOs does not directly rely on genetic diversity.

Bioprospecting involves the exploration and utilization of genetic resources for commercial purposes.

Intellectual property rights are not explicitly mentioned as a key principle in the Convention on Biological Diversity.

Genetic erosion refers to the reduction in genetic diversity over time due to various factors such as habitat loss, overexploitation, and selective breeding.

Genetic erosion can lead to a loss of genetic diversity, which can make populations more vulnerable to environmental changes, but it does not directly enhance resilience to climate change.

Biocultural conservation involves the integration of traditional knowledge and practices with scientific approaches to conserve biodiversity and genetic resources.

Genetic mining can lead to the loss of genetic diversity if not conducted sustainably, but it does not directly increase genetic diversity.

Genetic screening involves the evaluation of genetic resources to identify those with desirable traits or characteristics.
