Genetic drift in small population results in fixation of a gene or loss of gene affecting only that particular population . It has no direct effect on diversity of organisms .

What describes a population at great risk for genetic diversity?
The number one cause of risk to genetic diversity in populations is the size of the population. The smaller the size in an area, the less diverse genetically the population is.
Has genetic diversity helped or hurt the survival of the rat population?
Genetic diversity would increase the survival of the rat population because they would be more capable as a species of surviving in different environments.
What did the selective breeding do to the population of pea plants?
decreased its genetic diversity
What did the selective breeding do to the. Population of pea plants?
decreased its genetic diversity
Which process performs genetic recombination?
Genetic Recombination is the exchange of genetic information in order to increase the genetic diversity of the population. Probably only with bacteria.
Stabilizing selection results in more or less genetic diversity?
Stabilizing selection results in less genetic diversity in a population.
What is the variety of genetic material within a species or population is called?
genetic diversity
What describes a population at great risk for genetic diversity?
The number one cause of risk to genetic diversity in populations is the size of the population. The smaller the size in an area, the less diverse genetically the population is.
Dinobryon is a species of protozoa that reproduce asexually How can this asexual reproduction be harmful to the species?
They do not use up any energy finding mates.
Has genetic diversity helped or hurt the survival of the rat population?
Genetic diversity would increase the survival of the rat population because they would be more capable as a species of surviving in different environments.
Is increasing the genetic diversity beneficial?
Generally, yes. To have a wide variation in a population of organisms means that your population is better able to meat environmental challenges and survive through an onslaught of parasites, such as bacteria and viruses.
Which taxa includes the largest amount of genetic diversity among plantlike organisms?
viridiplantae

How do beetles display genetic diversity?
different species in one population
What characteristic do a bottleneck and a founder effect have in common?
The founder effect a genetic bottleneck are similar in their effect on the genetic diversity of a local population in both situations. They result in the development of a population from a small number individuals and is likely to have reduced genetic diversity.
