Genetic variation is a necessary condition of which process?

Genetic variation is one of the conditions required for Natural Selection to occur.


Which of these is necessary for natural selection to occur genetic engeneering genetic variation asexual reproduction or enviormental stability?

Genetic variation is necessary for natural selection to occur. This variation provides the raw material for differential survival and reproduction, which drives the process of natural selection. Without genetic variation, there would be no differences for natural selection to act upon.


What characteristic within populations cause natural selection to occur?

Genetic variation. If there were no variation in the genes/phenotype then natural selection would have nothing to select from.


Which of the following is necessary for evolution to occur?

Genetic variation is necessary for evolution to occur, as it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon. This variation can arise from mutations, genetic recombination, or gene flow.


Why must a population have a genetic variation in order for natural selection to occur?

Without variation there is nothing to select from.


What characteristic within populations causes natural to occur?

genetic variation


The degree of adaptation that can occur in a population is limited by?

the amount and kind of genetic variation in a population


Can natural selection occur without variation in a population?

no there is no genetic variation for natural selection to act upon


What is One consequence of genetic drift is?

Loss of genetic variation(:Novanet:)


Does variation occur in plants?

Much more morphological variation occurs in plants. Genetic variation is the big variation in plants because of polyploidy; this doubling, tripling and halving of chromosome number in the mating of two plants not only leads to great variation in genetic material, but also leads to great speciation in plants.


Mutations and the genetic shuffling that occur during sexual reproduction are both sources of?

Genetic variation. Mutations introduce new genetic changes that can be passed on to offspring, while genetic shuffling during sexual reproduction mixes genetic material from two parents to create unique combinations of genes in the offspring.


Genetic drift tens to occur in populations that?

Genetic drift has a larger effect on smaller populations.
