How is genetic diversity important to the concept of natural selection?
Without genetic diversity, natural selection cannot occur
What is the process that allows for genetic diversity in populations is?
Sex.
What is the primary advantage of sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction is more advantageous than asexual reproduction because it allows for genetic diversity. In asexual reproduction there is only one source of genetic material whereas with sexual reproduction there are two sources of genetic material.
How does the process of fertilization act to increase genetic diversity within a population?
Random fertilization. All the eggs and sperm produced are variations due to crossing over alone, not even considering other processes. The meet and fertilization occurs randomly insuring a good mix of genetic variation. Thus, genetic diversity.
How might the lack of genetic diversity found in populations of endangered species might hinder their recovery?
Lack of genetic diversity can becomes a problem when a species is hit with infectious diseases. If all the organisms are very similar, then it is very likely that they will all be affected by the same disease, thus destroying the species as a whole. In species with high amounts of genetic diversity, a disease may destroy a section of the population, but many individuals will be resistant to the disease.
Is genetic diversity due entirely to inherited genes on the sex chromosomes?
No, because genetic diversity has nothing to do with the sex chromosomes but is due to crossing-over of chromosomes independent assortment of chromosomes, and segregation of chromosomes
What factors contribute to genetic diversity?
The way the chromosomes line up during meiosis.
What is the first things chromosomes do?
DNA is exchanged between homologous chromosomes in a process called "crossing over" or "genetic recombination," which is important for maintaining diversity in the genetic pool from one generation of individuals to the next.
What are two ways that sexual reproduction helps create and and maintain genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction helps create and maintain genetic diversity by: # The independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. # The random fertilization of gametes.
Is crossing over a chromosomal abnormality?
No, it is normal for chromosomes to cross over. Crossing over is how we humans have genetic diversity.
How does crossing over affect the genetic diversity of a species?
in crossing over the gens present on chromosomes forms linkage so the character are exchange & thus it lead to recombination of genes that affect genetic diversity
What is random distribution of homologous chromosomes during meiosis called?
Segregation distortion, non-mendelian segregation.
How is genetic diversity beneficial a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity to beneficial to a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity beneficial to species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
What are three ways to get genetic variation?
Independent assortment of chromosomes, crossing over and Random fetiliztion
What is interkinsis?
Interkinesis is the period between the first and second divisions in meiosis. Meiosis is a special type of cell division of genetic material (DNA). Meiosis produces genetic diversity.
