<em>So let me try to repeat that: San Francisco sourdough tastes sour because of a unique local bacteria called lactobacillus San Francisco. That, and a yeast called candida milleri are the real secret to San Francisco sourdough bread. In other words, the secret ingredient is no secret at all: It's blowing in the wind.</em>
The answer is NO. This is because different environments require different adaptations. A desirable trait in one environment may be inconsequential or detrimental in another environment. This is the reason also why evolution is continuous as natural selection acts on traits of a population to ensure desirable traits are retained with changes in the environment in a dynamic world.
The shuffling of chromosomes that occurs during both fertilization and meiosis can lead to genetic variation. This is because of the independent assortment and crossing over. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
