Biocalculus: Calculus for the Life Sciences1st EditionDay, Stewart 5,056 solutions Which environmental factor could lead to an increase in genetic variation?Genetic variation will increase because of a new habitat and food source. A scientist has been tracking and studying a population of deer in Yellowstone National Park. He surveys the population every six months. Usually, the population is thriving and has a gene pool with a wide variety of traits.
What factors increases genetic variation in a population?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.
Which of the following could increase genetic variation?And so the answer choices we have are crossing over natural selection, mutation, or immigration. And crossing over increases genetic variation because it increases the diversity of the wheels and therefore genotype and phenotype in a population.
What are the factors of environmental variation?Environmental Variation: Environmental variation is caused by the external environmental factors such as light, temperature, moisture, climate, exposure, minerals, diet, culture, and lifestyle.
