Genetic Variation §

Group: 4 #group-4

Relations §

• Speciation: Genetic variation within a population is a prerequisite for speciation to occur.
• Natural Selection: Natural selection acts on the genetic variation present within a population, favoring certain variations over others.
• Evolutionary Biology: Genetic variation provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon, leading to evolutionary change.
• Survival of the Fittest: Genetic variation within a population is essential for the principle of ‘Survival of the Fittest’ to operate, as it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon.
• Adaptation to Environment: Genetic variation provides the raw material for adaptation through natural selection.
• Evolution: Genetic variation within a population is essential for evolution to occur, as it provides the raw material for natural selection to act upon.
• Admixture: Admixture is a source of genetic variation within and between populations.
