What id genetic variation?
Genetic Variation is a measure of the genetic differences there are within populations or species. For example, a population with many different alleles at a locus may be said to have a lot of genetic variation at that locus. Genetic variation is essential for natural selection to operate since natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population
Write an original definition for genetic variation?
The genetic variation of a population is a measure of how much individuals in a population differ genetically.
Coefficient of variation is a measure of relative variation. True or False?
True
Does variation mean range in math terms?
No. A range is one measure of variation. It is easy to find, but it is also a rather crude measure.
What is measure of variation?
A measure of variation, also called a measure of dispersion, is a type of measurement that details how a set of data is scattered from a central or neutral point of origin. Range, variance and standard deviation are three measures of variation that are commonly used.
What Conditions necessary for a measure of variation to have a positive value?
It is that the measure is somehow related to the absolute value of the observations compared to some fixed value and also that there IS some variation.
Which measure of dispersion represents variation from the mean?
Are you talking of this in means of Statistics? If you are, then the variation from the mean is measured in standard deviation.
What is an advantage of using the range as a measure of variation?
It is simple to calculate.
What is the Measure of the degree of variation among a set of events?
scatterplot
What is heretibility?
Heritability is a measure of the proportion of variability in a trait within a population that can be attributed to genetic differences. It ranges from 0 to 1, with 1 indicating that all variability in the trait is due to genetic differences.
Which measure of variation is appropriate when using the mean?
The variance or standard deviation.
What should you measure when studying a gas?
The pressure, volume, and temperature
