Mutations are a source of what in a species?
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.
True or False When a population is in genetic equilibrium there is no genetic variation among individuals in that population?
True
Where is genetic variation stored in a population?
In the gene pool
What increases genetic variations?
A large population increases genetics variation. Mutation will also increase genetics variation.
Which procedure can not be used to increase genetic variation?
If a population dwindles, there is low genetic variation and a species may risk extinction.
Is Natural selection a source of genetic variation in a population?
No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.
What two different sources of genetic variation in a plant or animal population?
The main source of genetic variation is a large population with a large gene pool.
What is the primary original source of genetic variation in a population?
The primary original source of genetic variation in a population is mutation. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can lead to new genetic variations in populations, providing the raw material for evolution to occur.
What is a source of genetic variation in organisms?
Human recombination is a significant source of genetic variation.
Why genetic variation is a benefit to a population?
Genetic variation allows a population to adapt to a changing environment.
What is the source of genetic variation?
Mutation.
What are three ways to get genetic variation?
Independent assortment of chromosomes, crossing over and Random fetiliztion
What would decrease genetic variation in a population?
When there is low genetic variation in a population the species produced are unlikely to withstand diseases.
Write an original definition for genetic variation?
The genetic variation of a population is a measure of how much individuals in a population differ genetically.
Mutations are a source of what in a species?
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.
What is the ultimate source of genetic variation and the basis for the diversity of life on earth?
Mutations. These have quite a few different causes. Sexual reproduction is a "more recent source" {beginning 600 million years ago} of genetic variability. The process of sharing genetic information, coupled with the random crossing and mixing of genetic information during the creation of a new organism, leads to another source of genetic variability.
How large should the sample be to be large enough?
Span the full spectrum of a population's genetic variation. <apex> Reflects the genetic variation of a population...
