Which procedure can not be used to increase genetic variation?

If a population dwindles, there is low genetic variation and a species may risk extinction.


If a certain species has little genetic variation what could lead to its rapid extinction?

A lack of genetic variation can make a species less able to adapt to changing environmental conditions or new threats like diseases or predators. This reduced ability to adapt increases the species' vulnerability to extinction if they cannot effectively respond to these challenges.


Mutations are a source of what in a species?

Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.


How is genetic diversity beneficial a species?

Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.

How is genetic variation related to a species's chances of becoming extinct?

Little or no variation could lead to failure to adapt to changing conditions. Too much variation would prevent the species from passing on beneficial traits because they would change too rapidly.

How genetic variation is measured?

Gentic variation is mearsured by the number of species in the given area not.
