What are the benefits of genetic variation?

2 answers:

3 0

Genetic variation allows for a greater chance of a population surviving. For example, if a plant species acquires a disease, without genetic variation the disease would just keep getting passed on to the next identical organism and the population would decline and eventually die. But genetic variation prevents that from happening, because you have so many other species in the ecosystem, and genetic variation is a product of sexual reproduction meaning that the offspring of the diseased plant has a possibility of not inheriting the disease.

Zina [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Progeny observed in the experiment is calculated by adding all the progeny numbers observed in the :

TIME TO FRUIT TENDRIL SIZE FRUIT COLOR NUMBER

Normal normal dark 370

normal normal light 32

early normal light 971

early normal dark 28

early reduced dark 25

early reduced light 483

normal reduced light 36

normal reduced dark 810

TOTAL

PROGENCY 2755

2. The locus in the center is TIME TO FRUIT. Tendril size is at the beginning of the locus and the distance between the locus B and locus C is R2
