What type of cell reproduction is more likely to increase genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction is most likely to increase genetic diversity.
What does low genetic diversity do?
Generally, a low rate of evolution.
The world's population of cheetahs has very little genetic diversity. The population has dropped drastically in recent years and the bottleneck effect has altered genetic frequencies. What mechanism o?

What are the mechanisms of evolution?
There are several mechanisms for evolution. The first (and most important) being natural selection, which plays off random mutations. Genetic drift is also another important aspect of evolution. EDIT: It depends on what you mean by "mechanism." Mutations are thought to be the mechanism that causes the change in DNA, then natural selection and Gentic drift take over. Unfortunately, mutations do not hold up and evolution is ultimately left without a mechanism. This article on mutations gives an indepth explanation http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/wow/are-mutations-the-engine STRAIT FROM THE BIOLOGY BOOK :)
What are the advantages or disadvantages of conjugation?
Advantage: No new cells but genes are combined - an increase of genetic diversity, therefore good for evolution!! Two new organisms are genetically identical and share the common ways to survive in the same environment which can be an advantage or disadvantage depending on the types of characteristics the organism had.
Why does evolution require diversity within a species?
If everything is exactly the same, there is a lower chance of evolution occurring; diversity is not necessary, but it works quicker. This is because where random mutation is the only thing to introduce wider genetic diversity, it will take a longer time than simply mixing the gene pool up.
The wide variety of life on earth is called?
Genetic diversity
What type of cell reproduction is more likely to increase genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction is most likely to increase genetic diversity.
Was Genetic drift a factor in the diversity and evolution of humans?
False, was.
What does low genetic diversity do?
Generally, a low rate of evolution.
Does sexual reproduction increase or decreases genetic diversity?
increase
Does asexual reproduction provide for genetic diversity the raw material for evolution?
That answer is false it does not provide gentic diversity.
Does sexual reproduction increase genetic diversity?
Yes
What is the mechanism of evolution?
The main driving mechanism of evolution is natural selection. Though genetic drigt and gene flow can also cause evolution.
What is stabilizing evolution?
A mechanism (most common) of natural selection where overall genetic diversity decreases due to particular trait or genotype getting 'fixed' into the population. It is usually represented as a parabola on a graph.
What is the cellular process that has the goal is to increase genetic diversity?
meiosis
What three patterns of biodiversity did Darwin note?
Divergent Evolution, Convergent Evolution, and Coevolution
