The level of genetic variation in the population.

Genetic variation is crucial for a population's ability to adapt to changing environments and to survive potential threats, such as diseases, climate change, and other factors affecting survival. Greater genetic diversity can increase the likelihood of some individuals possessing traits that may be advantageous under certain conditions, enhancing the overall survival probability of the population.
