In Relation to Genetic Diversity Nature unveils in all its superiority and success but is oblivious of the dangers of biological evolution which either enhance it or make it inferior and extinct. The study of Genetic Diversity gives us a broad understanding of the process of evolution and somehow prepares us for expecting changes in biological evolution. Genetic diversity which also known as genetic variation is an inconsistency of phenotypes within a population of the same species. In

The basis of the evolutionary theory is that animals sleep because it serves some adaptive function. The notion of the adaptive nature of sleep comes from the theory of evolution. The idea is that any behaviour that has continued into an animal’s gene pool must have been naturally selected because it has, in some way, aided the survival and reproduction of the animal that possesses that characteristic. One explanation of sleep that the evolutionary theory proposes is that it helps to conserve energy
