Which process is a cause of variation in a species?
Sexual Reproduction Genetic mutation
What is the term for biodiversity that results from new ancestral species?
Adaptive radiation is the term for biodiversity that results from few ancestral species.
After plants moved to land what happnend?
adaptive radiation formed mant new land plant species
Evolution is the gradual change in phenotype frequency of a species what process causes evolution?
Mutation, genetic drift, gene flow and the driver of adaptive change, natural selection.
What advantage does the process of crossing over bring to the reproductive process?
It produces offspring with genetic variation, different from the parent gametes. This is opposed to asexual reproduction where identical offspring are the product. This is the diversity that is created on the levels of genotype and phenotype.
Which process produces the most variation within a species?
Variations occurs in species due to the process of "Crossing over"
How does crossing over assist with variation among species?
No
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.
The process of a single species or a small group of species envolving into diverse forms that live in different ways called?
Adaptive Radiation
Which process is a cause of variation in a species?
Sexual Reproduction Genetic mutation
What is the term for biodiversity that results from new ancestral species?
Adaptive radiation is the term for biodiversity that results from few ancestral species.
The rapid formation of many new species as in this case is called?
Adaptive Radiation :)
What is the production of several species from ancestral species called?
adaptive radiation
Discuss the implications to a species of self pollination?
If plant species self-pollinate there will be a less variation between plants, it is advantageous if there are no other plants nearby. The plant will become less adaptive to changing conditions and may die, but there will be less wastage of pollen.
What are specific examples of variation within a species?
Human species, as in the variation in height.
What happens in adaptive radiation?
Adaptive radiation occurs when a species occupies a habitat with unoccupied niches
What is a major cause of variation within species?
Variation of a species can come about in many ways, but mutation is the major cause of variation in a species.
