Answer:

Genetic diversity

Explanation:

Genetic diversity is when a population of a species, humans, in this case, have different genes between different individuals. One person may have blue eyes while the others have brown. This shows diversity within the gene pool.

Genetic diversity is also important to the survival of a species. Two-parent reproduction leads to genetic diversity. Having different alleles within a population allows for adaptation. On the other hand, one-parent reproduction does not allow for genetic diversity. This hinders the species because it does not let species to slowly improve the gene pool through natural selection and adaptation.

A hybrid _____.
Serhud [2]

Answer: is heterozygous

Explanation: A hybrid is heterozygous which means that it has one dominant gene and one recessive gene. A dominant gene is a type of gene which has the ability to express itself phenotypically either in a homozygous or a heterozygous state. A dominant gene masks the effect of a recessive gene. A recessive gene is a type of gene that lacks the ability to express itself in a heterozygous state. It can only express itself outwardly in a homozygous state. It's effect is masked by the dominant gene is a heterozygous state.
