Well most population within a species have very similar gene pools, like most human are 99% similar in their DNA, but the thing is, the closer you are related the more similar you gene pool will be. By hybridization you are literally introducing something new to the gene pool. So maybe you have a whole herd of white goat, but then you crossbred it with a black goat (i don't know if black goat exists or not), this introduces a genetic variation into your white goats, now the offspring will have black fur allele in their gene. That is what hybridization do.

Breeders can increase the genetic variation by inducing what?

The introduction of animals into a breeding population that are unrelated will increase genetic variation.


What is gene hybridization?

Plant hybridization is the process of creating plant hybrids, often as new species of plants. This is done by crossing genetics from two different types or species of plants and joining them to make a new plant.


How does natural selection produce genetic variation within a species?

It's mainly mutations in the DNA and recombination of chromosomes that produce the genetic variation. Natural selection then favors those changes that give rise to greater reproductive success.

How are inbreeding and hybridization the same?

Inbreeding is the breeding of closely related individuals of a species generally to produce more uniform offspring. Hybridization is the breeding of different varieties (breeds) or even different species to increase variation/ vigor in the genetic population. An example of variety hybridization would Labradoodles (labrador X poodle). An example of species hybridization would be (wolf X coyote). Many offspring produced from species hybridization are sterile... depending on the chromosome number compatibility and other factors.


Crossing over and the separation of duplicated homologous chromosomes in the first division produce genetic variation?

What is a source of genetic variation in organisms?

Human recombination is a significant source of genetic variation.


Relate genetic variation and mutations to each other?

mutations cause genetic variation, and vice-versa. If there is a genetic variation (or lack of one), then this can effect the severity of the mutation.

Why is crossing over so important?

It increases genetic variation in organisms


Why genetic variation is a benefit to a population?

Genetic variation allows a population to adapt to a changing environment.
