Why is a genetically diverse population more like to survive a change to the environment?
they are more likely to have individuals with an adaption
How does sexual reproduction decrease an organisms chance of survival?
Actually, sexual reproduction can increase survival of the overall population by creating diversity. It is more effective over asexual reproduction.
What is an organism that has an adaptation that allows it to survive?
Adaptation or adaptive value is any genetically controlled structural, physiological, or behavioral characteristic. This helps an organism survive and reproduce under a given set of environmental conditions.
How can loss of Genetic Diversity can lead to extinction?
A species that is genetically diverse is more likely to survive in the event of a major change in it's environment, because of chance. A large swing in climate for instance, could entirely wipe out a species that was solely suited to a specific climate. However, if a portion of the species is more adaptable to a colder climate, and a portion is more adaptable to a warmer climate, even though a climate change would mean death for a large portion, a portion would be more likely to survive.
How can biodiversity affect the resilience of an ecosystem?
Biodiversity (i.e. biological diversity) can be compared to human population with different talents and knowhow such that when there is a calamity the more varying talents there is, in the population the faster its capacity to recover from that event. So in a more diverse community of plants and animals, when it experiences changes in environment or suffer destruction, be it natural or man-made, it can recover more quickly compared to a less diverse community of plants and animals. The higher the diversity, the higher the possible inter-connection/inter-relation between the individuals concerned to survive or adapt to the situation.
Why is a genetically diverse population the more likely to survive a change to the environment?
they are more likely to have individuals with an adaption
How do adaptations affect a species?
they make the species more likely to survive.(apex)
Why is a genetically diverse population more like to survive a change to the environment?
they are more likely to have individuals with an adaption
How does having a diverse gene pool help a specie survive?
Species that lack a diverse gene pool are less able to adapt to changes in the environment and are less able to survive diseases.
Where were the first medically and genetically documented quintuplets to survive past infancy born?
The first medically and genetically documented quintuplets to survive past infancy were born in 1934 in Canada, in a small town called Corbeil, near Callander, Ontario. They were named Annette, Emilie, Cecile, Yvonne, and Marie Dionne.
How many jelly beans were able to survive from the original population?
5 were able to survive from the population.
Why do genetically different offspring have a better chance of survival than genetically?
Those that are different have a better chance because one may be superior than the others. If they are all alike, perhaps none will survive.
What is the driving force of living things?
to genetically "survive", through reproducing
How does sexual reproduction decrease an organisms chance of survival?
Actually, sexual reproduction can increase survival of the overall population by creating diversity. It is more effective over asexual reproduction.
What is population's critical number is?
certain minimum population base needed for a population to survive and recover.
What are three types of adaptations that allow birds to survive in diverse environments?
food feathers down flipped jackets
What is the process of conjugation in paramecia?
It adds to genetic variability. Swapping DNA helps the new organisms to be genetically different from the parents. If there is a biological disaster that threatens a population of Paramecia some of them may survive since they are not all genetically alike.
