Biology

Ksju [112]3 years ago

Answer:

a. Low genetic diversity

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process of differential survival and reproductive rates among the individuals of a population. Natural selection works on the existing genetic diversity of the population and favors the genetic traits that impart survival advantage to the individuals.

In the absence of genetic diversity or low genetic diversity in a population would not allow the natural selection to increase the frequencies of the alleles responsible for adaptive genetic traits. This would pause the process of evolution carried out by natural selection.

33. Meiosis and sexual reproduction each lead to variation in the genetic make-up of every person.
Natali [406]

The genetic data present in the DNA of an organism is different from the parent DNAs.  

Explanation:

The large number of varied combination of genes are produced through the reproduction procedure. In the process of Meiosis, gametes are produced in the form of sperms and eggs. The alleles of gametes get separated and units randomly with fertilization of gametes.

In this way reproduction causes variation in genes. In humans some variations of genes are - the skin and hair color. This variation leads to a trait of an organism.
