From the papers I am reading there may be mechanisms to insure only top quality sperm make it into the ejaculate.

How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?

Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.


Is it possible for a population to undergo natural selection?

No, there is no genetic variation upon which natural selection can operate.


What relies upon evolution by natural selection?

it relies upon the population


Can natural selection occur without variation in a population?

no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon


Is it that traits that are controlled by genes can be acted upon by natural selection?

Yes.


What do sperm cells divide into?

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.


Which is not a way in which natural selection affects the distributions of phenotypes?

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.


Why is genetic variation important for natural selection to drive evolution?

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.


Is it true natural selection can act upon an individuals genotype the external of genes?

False


Is it true that only traits that are learned can be acted upon in natural selection?

all i know is that its False


What are the egg and the sperm cells called?

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).


How can genetic drift and gene flow affect natural selection?

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.
