What is the difference between anatomical anomaly and biological variation?
Biological variation is much wider term. It takes place at the level of species while anatomical anomaly means a anatomicaly different individual within species.
What advantages does sexual reproduction provide for sponges?
Sexual reproduction means there is much greater scope for genetic variation of offspring. Variation is good for any species as it is this variation that allows for adaption e.g. the variation might provide some individuals with resistance to a new disease that affects the species, hence those individuals survive and thrive.
How does genetic variation prevent extinction of a species?
The genetic variation enable a particular species to withstand the adversities of Nature by way of selection on the basis of the principle of survival of the fittest.
Discribe what biodiversity means?
Biodiversity means the degree of variation of life. Some examples would be genetic variation in a species or ecosystem variation in a planet.
How does variation ensure that a species to survive?
Creation of variation occurs in a species and help in the survival to species as the most suitable or favorable character pass next generation and under unfavorable condition only the most fit organism survive and help in continuation of the species.
Explain why there is more variation between a species than within a species?
Within a species, the animals breed together so that the similar characteristics are passed from parents to their offspring. This is why there is less variation within a species than between a species.
What are specific examples of variation within a species?
Human species, as in the variation in height.
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.
Why fertilized human is important?
Fertilization is important so species can have genetic variation. It is also important so the species can pass on their genes.
How is genetic variation related to a species chance of becoming extinct?
Little or no variation could lead to failure to adapt to changing conditions. Too much variation would prevent the species from passing on beneficial traits because they would change too rapidly.
Do you have a diagram of a mussel?
There are many many species of mussels but their anatomy is pretty much the same with some variation that distinguishes them as species.
How is genetic variation related to species chances of becoming extinct?
Little or no variation could lead to failure to adapt to changing conditions. Too much variation would prevent the species from passing on beneficial traits because they would change too rapidly.
How is genetic variation related to a species's chances of becoming extinct?
Little or no variation could lead to failure to adapt to changing conditions. Too much variation would prevent the species from passing on beneficial traits because they would change too rapidly.
What is the difference between anatomical anomaly and biological variation?
Biological variation is much wider term. It takes place at the level of species while anatomical anomaly means a anatomicaly different individual within species.
Mutations are a source of what in a species?
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.
What advantages does sexual reproduction provide for sponges?
Sexual reproduction means there is much greater scope for genetic variation of offspring. Variation is good for any species as it is this variation that allows for adaption e.g. the variation might provide some individuals with resistance to a new disease that affects the species, hence those individuals survive and thrive.
Each species has a distinctive pattern and each animal has its own variation on that pattern So the Grevy's mountain and Burchell's species are what animal?
Zebras
