What is Stabilizing Selection and Distruptive selection?
A type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait value.
What is three reasons why a sexual reproduction is beneficial?
genetic diversity more efficient natural selection
Is Natural selection a source of genetic variation in a population?
No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.
Why do you think gene pool diversity is important?
if a gene pool is restricted hereditary faults can be emphasized
How can a wide range of phenotypes increase the chance that some individuals will survive in a changing environment?
by natural selection.
How is genetic diversity important to the concept of natural selection?
Without genetic diversity, natural selection cannot occur
How do artificial and natural selection contribute to biological diversity?
selection processes always reduce diversity. processes modifying genes increase diversity.
Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation?
Natural Selection.
What is Stabilizing Selection and Distruptive selection?
A type of natural selection in which genetic diversity decreases as the population stabilizes on a particular trait value.
What is three reasons why a sexual reproduction is beneficial?
genetic diversity more efficient natural selection
How does genetic variation support Natural Selection?
Genetic variation in itself does not 'support' natural selection: it is what natural selection acts upon.
Is Natural selection a source of genetic variation in a population?
No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.
What are genetic mutation and natural selection?
Together, genetic mutation and natural selection determine in what 'direction' evolution proceeds.
Why do you think gene pool diversity is important?
if a gene pool is restricted hereditary faults can be emphasized
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
Cows that give more milk than other cows are an example of?
Natural variation, natural selection, artificial selection, genetic engineering, etc.
Is it possible for a population to undergo natural selection?
No, there is no genetic variation upon which natural selection can operate.
