HARDY WEINBERG EQUILIBRIUM

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A randomly selected group from a family would show more genetic variation than a randomly selected group from a
A
genus
B
class
C
kingdom
D
domain
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So the correct answer is ‘Genus’.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gene duplication, mutation, or other processes can produce new genes and alleles and increase genetic variation. New genetic variation can be created within generations in a population, so a population with rapid reproduction rates will probably have high genetic variation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Variation is needed for natural selection because different traits are needed in order for a species to survive different circumstances. Overproduction is needed because many offsprings will increase the chances that some will survive.

Detailed explanation-4: -Evolution is the process by which populations of organisms change over generations. Genetic variations underlie these changes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The variation in the traditional genetic expression is termed genetic variation. Genetic variations are caused by mutation and recombination occurring at the time of meiosis. Chemical or biological mutagens play an important role in inducing mutations. Random mating among organisms also affects genetic variation.
