Why is it beneficial to have genotypic and phenotypic variation within a species

Biology
1 answer:

6 0

organisms with phenotypes that are beneficial for survival are more likely to reproduce and pass on their genetic information. Over lots and lots of generations, this progressively leads to changes in the species as a whole

Gene flow and genetic drift both affect allele frequencies in a population. A high level of gene flow into a population genetic
DaniilM [7]

A high level of gene flow into a population increases genetic diversity in a population. A high level of gene flow out of a population decreases genetic diversity in a population. Genetic drift is the change in allele frequencies due to "sampling error" factors. Typically, genetic drift has the biggest impact on small populations.

Gene flow (or gene migration) is a mechanism of evolution (change the allele frequencies) which transfers genetic variation among populations due to migration. High level of gene flow decreases the genetic differentiation between the two populations.

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution that acts by chance (“sampling error”) often when a population is reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group leaves the main population and forms a colony (founder effect).

Define each of the following terms and explain how each of them can benefit the plant.
Aneli [31]

Answer:

definition with benefit is given below of

1st. gravitropism

2nd. phototropism

3rd. thigmotropism

4th. photoperiod

Explanation:

1st is gravitropism

gravitropism is process in which plant grow in the direction that gravity act

It is also called geotropism

and

Gravitropism is important for plants because it directs the roots to grow in the downward direction that is important for obtaining nutrients

2nd is phototropism

phototropism  is the process in which plant growth directed by the light

and

we know plants need light to carry out photosynthesis

so  Phototropism direct the growth of the stem and branch toward sunlight

3rd is thigmotropism

thigmotropism is the directional change in growth of plant in response to a touch stimulus

and

thigmotropism is especially important for climbing plant that is use support to climb up

4th is photoperiod

photoperiod is the physiological change in organism in the response to length of the day and night

and

it play important role to determining the physiological developmental process in the plant such as budding and tuberization
