What is heritable variation?
Heritable variation is the variation in characteristics caused by genetic factors.
What is the relationship between evolution and genetics?
mutation brings about variation which is the basis of evolution and the two types of variation are heritable and non-heritable
Which two important factors was Darwin unable to explain without an understanding of heredity?
First, he had no idea how heritable traits pass from one generation to the next. Second, although variation in heritable traits was central to Darwin's theory, he had no idea how that variation appeared.
What is a heritable feature?
Heritability is the proportion of Phenotypic variation in a population that is attributable to genetic variation among individuals. Phenotypic variation among individuals may be due to genetic and/or enviromental factors. Heritability analyses estimate the relative contributions of differences in genetic and non-genetic factors to the total phenotypic variance in a population.
Most heritable differences are due to?
gene shuffling

What are the main sources of heritable variation in a population?
mutations, recombination, random pairing of gametes
In order for evolution by natural selection to occur what has to happen?
There must be genetic variation, the variation must be heritable, and there must be differential reproduction (due to competition).
Which aspect of Galapagos finches is the best example of heritable variation?
Body size varies among individuals and large parents tend to have large offspring.
How can the environment affect heritable characteristics?
discrete and continuous variation is the key to every thing. live life to the fullest my friends and may god bless you all
What are four requirements for natural selection?
Natural selection occurs when four conditions are met: 1. There is variation among individuals. 2. That variation is at least partially heritable. 3. That variation is linked to differential reproductive success. 4. More individuals are born than can survive and reproduce.
What two testable assumptions were the basis for Darwin's hypothesis?
Darwin made bold assumptions about heritable variation, the age of Earth, and relationships among organisms. First, in order for beak size and shape to evolve, there must be enough heritable variation in those traits to provide raw material for natural selection. Second, differences in beak size and shape must produce differences in fitness that cause natural selection to occur.
