Genetic diversity would increase the survival of the rat population because they would be more capable as a species of surviving in different environments.

How does genetic variation affect population survival?

Imagine you had a bunch of bacteria which grow on glucose. Through a genetic mutation one of them gains the abilitiy to digest galactose also. You might think that sugar is sugar and anyhow, there's always enough glucose for everyone. Generally speaking you're right, and the mutant invests more energy than his colleagues to maintain his mutation, which is a disadvantage under normal conditions. But now imagine an evil scientist, who transfers the bacteria to a galactose-medium: All will starve except mutant, which will grow faster without having neighbours to share his meal with. So the Mutation helped the species to survive.


How have advancements in agriculture and medicine affected the diversity of life on earth?

What did the hershey-chase blender experiment help prove?

The Hershey-Chase blender experiment helped prove that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material of a bacteriophage. By using radioactive labeling, they were able to track the transmission of genetic material from the virus to the infected bacteria, showing that it was the DNA and not the protein coat that carried the genetic information.

What two things did James Watson Crick's model eventually help explain?

Watson and Crick's model of DNA's double helix structure helped explain how genetic information is stored and replicated. The model also provided insights into how mutations can occur and lead to genetic diversity.


An scientific example of bottleneck effect?

The northern elephant seal population was drastically reduced due to hunting in the 19th century, leading to a severe genetic bottleneck. This resulted in decreased genetic diversity within the population, making them more vulnerable to diseases and environmental changes. Conservation efforts have helped the population recover, but they still exhibit the genetic effects of the bottleneck.
