How could genetic variation affect new adaptations

Hello, hope your having a good day :)

<em><u>How could genetic variation affect new adaptations?</u></em>

<em>Populations adapt to novel environments in two distinct ways: selection on pre-existing genetic variation and selection on new mutations. These alternative sources of beneficial alleles can result in different evolutionary dynamics and distinct genetic outcomes. Compared with new mutations, adaptation from standing genetic variation is likely to lead to faster evolution, the fixation of more alleles of small effect and the spread of more recessive alleles. </em>

<em>So you may be asking.... why? And how?</em>

<em>There is potential to distinguish between adaptation from standing variation and that from new mutations by differences in the genomic signature of selection. Here we review these approaches and possible examples of adaptation from standing variation in natural populations. Understanding how the source of genetic variation affects adaptation will be integral for predicting how populations will respond to changing environments.</em>

On which side of the mountain would you be most likely to find a forest?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Mountain lands provide a scattered but diverse array of habitats in which a large range of plants and animals can be found. At higher altitudes harsh environmental conditions generally prevail, and a treeless alpine vegetation, upon which the present account is focused, is supported. Lower slopes commonly are covered by montane forests. At even lower levels mountain lands grade into other types of landform and vegetation—e.g., tropical or temperate forest, savanna, scrubland, desert, or tundra.

The largest and highest area of mountain lands occurs in the Himalaya-Tibet region; the longest nearly continuous mountain range is that along the west coast of the Americas from Alaska in the north to Chile in the south. Other particularly significant areas of mountain lands include those in Europe (Alps, Pyrenees), Asia (Caucasus, Urals), New Guinea, New Zealand, and East Africa. The worldwide distribution of mountain lands is shown in Figure 1.

Rashid [163]

Answer: "The synovial fluid in my joint capsule acts as a lubricant and helps the movement of the joint's articulating surfaces."

Explanation:

Synovial fluid is also called Synovia. It is produced by the synovial membrane. It is a thick liquid found in the cavities of synovial joints. It's function is to reduce friction by acting as a natural lubricant between the articular cartilage of synovial joints and allows ease of movement, they act as shock absorber and nourishment in the joints. Each of the joints contain synovial fluid.
