6 0

Answer:

Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA and are an important driver of diversity in populations. Species evolve because of the accumulation of mutations that occur over time. ... This mutation has introduce a new allele into the population that increases genetic variation and may be passed on to the next generation.

I hope it's helpful!

(problem 18) what is the main reason that geneticists devote so many resources to studying genetics in humans? detailed family r
velikii [3]

The Correct answer is "We want to understand the many aspects of human health, physiology, and behavior that are influenced by genes"

The geneticists devote so many resources to studying genetics in humans because they have realized that there are several diseases or physical traits (which may be due to the mutant gene) which are controlled by genes. For example diabetes which was earlier only thought to be regulated by insulin is now known to be as a heretical disease. Also it has been found that genetic diseases that are not present in the parent suddenly appear in their children. This may be due to the presence of recessive traits associated with genes and are being transferred from the forefathers. Not only diseases the physiological characteristics such as skin colour, eye colour, height, hair colour etc are also due to the result of expression of traits carried by the genes.  

In the current scenario the different lifestyle, food and harmful environment conditions also produces genetic variation. Thus it is very important for the geneticist to refer several knowledge resources to understand the expression of gene under varying condition and how it may impact the humans.

The average female Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua) produces two million eggs in a single spawning. How does this relate to natural s
Alex Ar [27]
This is a typical example of R selection life strategy. These species, including the Atlantic cod, produce a large number of offspring with a low chance of surviving to adulthood. This strategy is particularly successful in environments that are unstable. The main advantage of this strategy in changing environments is that the ''cost'' of making offspring is very low, so you the species can produce large numbers offspring, ensuring that at least some of them will survive into adulthood and continue the species.
Natural selection, in this case, favors the individuals that are able to adapt the fastest to the changing conditions.

zepelin [54]
The drift explanation states that the people with higher socio-economic status (SES) tend to have better lives. It further states that genetics and biology plays an important role in the socio-economic status so that healthier people can enjoy their SES for longer period of time.
