How can gene flow increase genetic variation within two neighboring populations
natali 33 [55]
A population that has been isolated, especially a smaller one, could have a high level of homozygosity and therefore not a lot of genetic variation. Gene flow between such populations can increase the level of heterozygosity, and therefore up genetic variation.

If the pride is taken over by new individuals what happens to the female ?
Step2247 [10]

Explanation:

Pride is the social community of lions where they grow, mate, reproduce, communicate, hunt etc. When male lions gets control of a new territory or a pride, they most of the times kill the cubs of the pride because they are not biologically related and do not want to waste their energy by ensuring that the cubs genes are passed on.

They don't want to be stepfathers. Female lions also will not be responsive to mating during the time they are feeding, so killing the cubs allows the male lions to reproduce.
