From the papers I am reading there may be mechanisms to insure only top quality sperm make it into the ejaculate.
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
No, there is no genetic variation upon which natural selection can operate.
it relies upon the population
no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon
Yes.
Sperm cells undergo a process called spermatogenesis, where they divide and differentiate into four mature sperm cells through meiosis. This process occurs in the testes and produces haploid sperm cells that each contain half of the genetic material found in a typical cell.
Mutation is not a way in which natural selection affects the distributions of phenotypes. Mutations introduce new genetic variations, which can then be acted upon by natural selection to influence the distribution of phenotypes within a population.
Genetic variation is important for natural selection to drive evolution because it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon. Without genetic variation, there would be no diversity in traits for natural selection to favor or eliminate, and evolution would not be possible.
False
all i know is that its False
The cell formed after fertilization by sperm and egg is called a zygote. A zygote is a diploid cell, meaning a cell that has two sets of chromosomes (one from egg, one from sperm).
Genetic drift can reduce genetic variation within a population, making it harder for natural selection to act upon beneficial traits. Gene flow, on the other hand, can introduce new genetic variation into a population, potentially increasing the pool of traits for natural selection to act upon. Overall, both genetic drift and gene flow can influence the effectiveness of natural selection by altering the genetic composition of populations.
