Biological heterogeneity refers to the variation or diversity that exists within a population of organisms at the genetic, molecular, cellular, or organismal level. This variability can arise from differences in genotype, phenotype, gene expression, or environmental factors. Studying biological heterogeneity can provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of disease, evolution, and adaptation, and is essential for understanding complex biological systems. Researchers often use advanced techniques such as single-cell sequencing and imaging to capture and analyze this diversity. By recognizing and characterizing biological heterogeneity, scientists can better tailor treatments, predict outcomes, and improve overall understanding of living organisms.
