How do genetic mutations influence biological diversity?
MariveeAladadObial
In most cases mutations increase genetic variation, but only if they propagate to later generations.

What are the Technologies that affect biological diversity?
Technologies that affect biological diversity include genetic modification. This will cause a loss in biodiversity.
What is the ultimatesource of genetic variation and the basis for the diversity of life on earth?
Mutations, combined with the fact that some of those mutations actually survive.
How do mutations natural selection geographic isolation genetic drift and migration contribute to biological evolution?
they contribute to biological evolution by how they've affected the evolution rate by increasing it or decreasing it
Changes in DNA are called mutations?
the answer is mutations.......................
How is genetic diversity beneficial to species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
What are three ways to get genetic variation?
Independent assortment of chromosomes, crossing over and Random fetiliztion
How is biological diversity measured?
Genetic variability of a speciesSpecies diversity (how many species of all animals, plants etc there are in a biological community)The diversity of biological communities in a (larger) area

What is the ultimatesource of genetic variation and the basis for the diversity of life on earth?
Mutations, combined with the fact that some of those mutations actually survive.
Discuss the issues related to genetic diversity mutations sexual reproduction migration and population size?
Discuss the issues related to genetic mutations: sexual reproductions, migration and population size
What is the basis of life's variety and common themes?
Life's variety is primarily based on genetic diversity, which arises from the combination of genetic information passed down from ancestors, mutations that occur over time, and genetic recombination during reproduction. Despite this diversity, life on Earth shares common themes such as the use of DNA as genetic material, the presence of cellular organization, and the utilization of energy to carry out biological processes.
Do mutations lead to greater diversity?
Yes, because when something mutates, it has a new genetic sequence. After it reproduces, its offspring may also have the mutated genetic sequence. After enough generations and mutations, a new species may be created.
Do Organisms produced as a result of binary fission exhibit a great deal of genetic variation?
No. Binary fission is cloning and the genetic diversity that results from this is nil. Excepting the occasional copying errors we cal mutations, but nowhere near the genetic diversity given by sexual reproduction and genetic recombination.
How is health a biological issue?
Because some diseases can cause genetic and hereditary mutations, meaning it can pass through generations.
How do mutations natural selection geographic isolation genetic drift and migration contribute to biological evolution?
they contribute to biological evolution by how they've affected the evolution rate by increasing it or decreasing it
Are all mutations generic?
Yes. All mutations of the genetic material are genetic.
What is the mean biodiverity?
Biodiversity The variety of all living things; a contraction of biological diversity. Biodiversity can be measured on many biological levels ranging from genetic diversity within a species to the...
