Answer:

Environmental factors can influence natural selection because they can increase or decrease the amount of genetic variation in a population.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process that involves the survival of species through changes in the expression of their genes, making possible the process of adaptation to environmental changes. It is one of the explanations for the biological evolution of species.

The second premise, necessary for natural selection to be possible, implies the existence of a variability (genetics) of traits among individuals in a population.

The other premises of natural selection are the faculty of traits to be inheritable and that genetic variability should lead to reproductive success and survival.

  • <em>The other options are not related to the process of natural selection, since it is not possible for natural selection to increase or decrease the number of chromosomes, in addition to the fact that genetic variability must be observed in a population, not in a single individual, to be considered natural selection </em>

Agree because we need to look ahead into the future. We may have a normal life with not much negative effects but the future generations to come will. Plants will die causing animals to die with them. Good will become scarce and oxygen in the atmosphere will decrease.

Which of the following is not a way that sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Combined parenting leads to faster reproduction

Explanation:

Genetic diversity or variations in the physical appearance of organisms is caused by genetic or environmental factors. Reproduction brings about variation through gamete formation, fertilization and mutations.

During prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair to form bivalents. The crossing over at the chiasmata results in new gene combination and variations.

Fertilization permits parental genes to be brought together. This causes variations in members of the same family.

Mutation is the spontaneous change in genetic make-up. These changes may be inherited by offspring bringing variations. However, combining parenting does not increase genetic diversity.
