Natural selection ' selects ' from among variations. Some organisms are better suited to their immediate environment and survive and out reproduce other organisms. All these organisms are genetically variant. That is the simple connection between natural selection and genetic variation. ( that variation coming about by mutation and recombination )

∙ 10y agoThe genetic variation is the grist to the mill of natural selection. This variation is what is selected against the immediate environment and the variation can confer some slight survival and reproductive advantage.

Is Natural selection a source of genetic variation in a population?
No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.
Which of these is necessary for natural selection to occur genetic engeneering genetic variation asexual reproduction or enviormental stability?
Genetic variation
Can natural selection occur without variation in a population?
no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon
What requires natural selection to occur in a population?
genetic variation
What is the signifiance of the genetic variation and natural selection?
genetic variation (from any of several sources) provides options to try.natural selection determines which of those options help the population most.
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 characteristic within populations cause natural selection to occur?
Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.
Cows that give more milk than other cows are an example of?
Natural variation, natural selection, artificial selection, genetic engineering, etc.
Which of these is necessary for natural selection to occur genetic engeneering genetic variation asexual reproduction or enviormental stability?
Genetic variation
Can natural selection occur without variation in a population?
no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon
Is it possible for a population to undergo natural selection?
No, there is no genetic variation upon which natural selection can operate.
Genetic variation is a necessary condition of which process?
Genetic variation is one of the conditions required for Natural Selection to occur.
How is genetic variation important to natural selection and adaptation?
identical
What requires natural selection to occur in a population?
genetic variation
Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation?
Natural Selection.
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
