assignments with introduction and conclusion and recommendations how much genetic variation is present in plants or animals. What is genetic variation. Types of genetic variation. Explain each type with examples etc
Most of our crops (corn, soy etc) are plants with
extremely low genetic variation. Why do we plant crops with low
genetic variation? What are the risks of this? From an evolutionary
perspective, how can a lack of genetic variation harm
crops?
a. Explain how genetic drift can lead to a reduction in the genetic variation within a population. b. Under what conditions is drift most likely to occur?
1. Evolutionary process and genetic
variation:
a) Explain to the general public how genetic variability occurs
in domesticated organisms, and why mutation is an essential
component that allows for production of new agricultural
varieties.
b) Explain the following statement to a college science
freshman: “The genetic variation on which natural selection acts
may occur randomly, but natural selection is not random at
all.”
c) Describe two situations where mutations are random, and two
situations where the mutations are not random. ...
