How does Genetic Variation relate to Selection?

Biology
2 answers:
guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Genetic variation is a measure of the genetic differences that exist within a population. Genetic variation is essential for natural selection because natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles that already exist in the population. Genetic variation is caused by: mutation.

Answer: <em>Genetic variation is important to the processes of natural selection and biological evolution. The genetic variations that arise in a population happen by chance, but the process of natural selection does not. Natural selection is the result of the interactions between genetic variations in a population and the environment.</em>

aleksley [76]

Answer: "Decreasing the salt concentration of the solution lowers DNA's melting point (Tm)" is not a true statement

Explanation:

Increasing salt concentration would lower the DNA's melting point (Tm), not otherwise.

For instance:

- In 8M urea (8M means 8 Moles per dm3), Tm is decreased by nearly 20°C.

- 95% formamide at room temperature would completely denature the double stranded DNA.

Thus, higher concentration of salts like urea or formamide lowers Tm, not otherwise

A father produces sperm that only carry ‘t’ alleles. What is likely to be his genotype?
Sav [38]

Answer:

The Genotype of an organism determines the genetic characteristics of an individual.

If a father produces sperm that carry only 't' alleles, the his genotype will be 'tt' or hom.ozygous genotype.

Hom.ozygous genotype contains the same type of genes responsible for a particular phenotype.

Hence, the correct answer is 'tt' or hom.ozygous genotype.
