Some of the squirrelfish are carriers of a recessive gene that codes for a yellow color instead of red.

Some of the squirrelfish are carriers of a recessive gene that codes for a yellow color instead of red.
Is the hippo able to pass on variation to offspring?
Yes, any animal that undergoes sexual repoduction can pass on variation to their offspring, provided that variation is contained in the gametes, or germinative cells.
How do you ensure variation in offspring?
sdfsdfsd
Why is there variation?
the change that occur from parents in the offspring
What are the four major points of the theory of natural selection?
1. Overproduction - more offspring are born than survive 2. Genetic Variation - there is variation in the population 3. Struggle to Survive - organisms with suitable variations will survive and reproduce 4. Differential Reproduction - suitable variations are passed on to offspring
Reproduction that does not produce variation among the offspring?
Asexual
The fact that an organism's offspring are not identical is known as?
inherited variation
What is the cause of variation in the offspring of sexually reproducing organisms?
recombination of alleles
Why genetic variation is a benefit to a population?
Genetic variation allows a population to adapt to a changing environment.
What are the offspring of sexual reproduction related to their parent?
What could be said is that the offspring will not be identical, genetically or regarding appearance; there will be variation between offspring and their sexually reproducing parents.
What does the best estimate suggest about how much variation in intelligence can be explained by genetics?
50%
How can genetic material variation help some offspring survive?
Because on very, very rare occasions the variation may be helpful
