Well... when bacteria proform conjugation they trade some DNA which allows the to become anti-biotics and increase genetic variation

Breeders can increase the genetic variation by inducing what?

The introduction of animals into a breeding population that are unrelated will increase genetic variation.


What increases genetic variations?

A large population increases genetics variation. Mutation will also increase genetics variation.


What can the variation become?

The variation can either increase or decrease depending with the genetic factors.


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.


What are the sources of genetic variation in bacteria and humans?

The most important source of variability in bacteria is mutation.


Does the process of independent assortment contribute to an increase in genetic variation?

Yes, the process of independent assortment contributes to an increase in genetic variation by creating different combinations of alleles during meiosis, leading to a greater diversity of genetic traits in offspring.


What id genetic variation?

Genetic Variation is a measure of the genetic differences there are within populations or species. For example, a population with many different alleles at a locus may be said to have a lot of genetic variation at that locus. Genetic variation is essential for natural selection to operate since natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles already in the population


What is the advantage of genetic recombination as a mode of reproduction in bacteria?

Genetic recombination in bacteria allows for the exchange of genetic material between different bacterial strains, leading to increased genetic diversity and adaptability. This can help bacteria evolve and develop resistance to environmental challenges, such as antibiotics.


What typeof organisms can increase genetic variation through reproduction?

Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from?

Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from sexual reproduction, as bacteria typically reproduce asexually by binary fission.


Which type of selection tends to increase genetic variation?

Natural Selection.
