What causes genetic variation in a species?

genetic variation happens because of meiosis. chromosomes are randomly in each sperm/egg cell, and so when they come together it's unlikely to get the same combination twice


Is it possible for a population to undergo natural selection?

No, there is no genetic variation upon which natural selection can operate.


How do you use Genetic Variation in a sentence?

Genetics refers to the study of genes, the microscopic biological building blocks that make us what we are. Used in a sentence: "The study of genetics is helping us to learn why certain diseases run in families."


What event in meiosis leads to genetic variation in organisms?

Genetic crossover occurs, which causes a sharing and transference of genetic information between maternal and paternal copies of chromosomes and further enhances the genetic variability of their offspring.


What is a source of genetic variation in organisms?

Human recombination is a significant source of genetic variation.


Relate genetic variation and mutations to each other?

mutations cause genetic variation, and vice-versa. If there is a genetic variation (or lack of one), then this can effect the severity of the mutation.

Which of these is necessary for natural selection to occur genetic engeneering genetic variation asexual reproduction or enviormental stability?

Genetic variation is necessary for natural selection to occur. This variation provides the raw material for differential survival and reproduction, which drives the process of natural selection. Without genetic variation, there would be no differences for natural selection to act upon.


Is Natural selection a source of genetic variation in a population?

No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.


What contributes to genetic variation?

The patterns of nitrogenous bases in DNA encoded on the genes creates genetic variation.
