Yes, this is known as incest and can lead to life threatening genetic problems. Genesis should not be interpreted literally. ---- Alternative viewpoint: It is quite a plausible theory that, when first created, man's genetic foundation was much purer, diverse, and as close to perfection as man has ever attained or will ever be able to attain. Genetic mutations and anomalies did not pose a problem in the beginning.

Which would most likely decrease the genetic variation in the human population?
If the human population was reduced to a very small number of interbreeding individual then this small population, denied outbreeding, would have very little genetic variation. Humans, who went through a bottleneck event about 70,000 years ago, are considered a " small " species because they have little genetic variation in comparison to many other species. Google cheetah to see how this concept works.
Where in the cell is genetic information stored?
Encoded by the DNA comprising the Genes which sit on the Chromosomes in the cells Nucleus. The genetic information in the cell is stored in the nucleus. the nucleus controls the cell and is like a little dot.
What is the genetic material in two daughter cells similar to the genetic material in the original parent cell?
The genetic content should be almost identical as long as the DNA repliction proof reading is 100% acurate, no translocations have taken place. The telomeres (on the ends of the chromosomes) will have shortened a little but this is noncoding DNA so is unimportant in protein expression. If there are any areas of damaged DNA the cell cycle should halt until it is repaired or undergo apoptosis (cell suicide). Anytime dude Diesal 'danger' nutkins
What causes many endangered species that are now found only in zoos to have very little genetic variations?
Founder effect refers to the loss of genetic variation when a new colony is established by a very small number of individuals from a larger population. As a result of the loss of genetic variation, the new population may be distinctively different.Bottleneck effect is an evolutionary event in which a significant percentage of a population or species is killed or otherwise prevented from reproducing, and the population is reduced by 50% or more, often by several orders of magnitude.Population bottlenecks increase genetic drift, as the rate of drift is inversely proportional to the population size.They also increase inbreeding due to the reduced pool of possible mates.
If two different alleles for a trait are present and one allele doesn't entirely block the expression of the other What is the genetic situation called?
Then they are codominent and a little bit of each will show up in the organism's phenotype.

I think diversity. Flawless is good though, just need a little more practice to keep up with diversity.

If a certain species has little genetic variation what could lead to its rapid extinction?
Genetic bottleneck causes very little genetic variation and can cause genetic drift.
What happens to the wax as it rises to the top of a lava lamp?
It begins to get a little cooler, shrinks a little making it denser. Eventually it will start to descend where it will get hotter again.
What is the nature of money?
To keep value, ranking, and just a little mark of humanity.
