A diverse community is a community populated by people from many different backgrounds; differences in background such as social, economic, religious, ethnic, or country of origin.

∙ 11y agoGenetic diversity refers to the diversity(or genetic variability) within species.Each individual species possesses genes which are the source of its own unique features: In human beings, for example, the huge variety of people's faces reflects each person's genetic individuality. The term genetic diversity also covers distinct populations of a single species, such as the thousands of breeds of different dogs or the numerous variety of roses.

A mutation is a change in the genetic coding of a gene.?
Yes. Change in the sequence of nitrogen base can be regarded as a mutation.
Populations with high levels of genetic diversity are likely to adapt to changes in the environment?
True, as is the opposite
What is a reccesive gene?
an allele that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele. Only expressed when paired with another recessive allele.
A mutation is a change in a?
gene sequence
How can this asexual reproduction be harmful to species?
Asexual reproduction does not allow for bio-diversity. Therefore if a disease comes along and effects one of them, the entire species will be very susceptible to the same disease, and entire species can be wiped out
It is believed that genetic drift was a factor in the diversity of humans?
true
A mutation is a change in the genetic coding of a gene.?
Yes. Change in the sequence of nitrogen base can be regarded as a mutation.
True or false natural selection does not always result in an increase in genetic diversity?
true
Is mutation a change in the genetic information contained in a gene?
true
Why is it hard for natural selection to stop the declin of the cheetah population?
No genetic variation in the cheetah population gene pool, so natural selection has nothing to select from and the inbreeding depression keeps deleterious traits breeding true among cheetahs and natural selection can not eliminate them from the gene pool.
Sexual reproduction contributes to genetic diversity in offspring more than asexual reproduction?
true
Populations with high levels of genetic diversity are likely to adapt to changes in the environment?
True, as is the opposite
Is it true that genetic engineers cannot control whether or not a gene transferred to an organsim will be passed to the offspring of the organism?
True
A gene pool typically contains just one allele for each inheritable trait true or false?
True : )
What contributes to genetic variability within a population?
natural selection nonrandom mating size of population genetic drift gene flow
What is a reccesive gene?
an allele that is not expressed when paired with a dominant allele. Only expressed when paired with another recessive allele.
What are five types of genetic engineering?
AnswerThe three types of genetic engineering are:Applied genetic engineering which includes cloning and transgenesis.Chemical genetic engineering which includes genes mapping, gene interaction, and genes codingAnalytical genetic engineering which includes computer mapping.
