Which of the statements about the relationship between DNA technology and genetic diversity is accurate? a.DNA technology can re
duce genetic diversity by eliminating existing clones. b.DNA technology can reduce genetic diversity by eliminating variant alleles. c.DNA technology can increase genetic diversity by producing more clones. d.DNA technology can increase genetic diversity by producing more variant alleles.
Correct answer: D). DNA technology can increase genetic diversity by producing more variant alleles.
The genetic diversity can be increased by the mutation that creates new alleles in the population. The recombinant DNA technology enables the joining of DNA from the two or more than two sources that allow changing the genetic composition of the living organism. The genetic diversity helps the population to adapt to the changing environment.
