The two important levels of biological organization showing biodiversity are -

(i) GENETIC DIVERSITY - A single species might show high diversity at the genetic level over its distribution range.

Example - The genetic variation shown by the medicinal plant Rauwolfia vomitoria growing in different Himalayan ranges might be in terms of potency and concentration of the active chemical ( rescrpie) that the plnat produces. India has more than 50,000 genetically different strains of rice and 1000 varieties of mango.

(ii) SPECIES DIVERSITY -  The diversity at the species level.

Example- the Western Ghats have a greater amphibion species diversity than the Eastern ghats.
