, or changes to an organism's genetic material, are a significant source of genetic variation. Sexual reproduction results in an offspring that has a combination of genetic material from its parents, which contributes to genetic variation.
Causes of variation - The Student Room
Genetic Variation. Polymorphism - two or more contrasting forms are each represented in a population. Geographical variation - differences in genetic structure between populations. Cline - a graded change in some trait along a geographic axis (Fig 23.8) What Causes Genetic Variation? Mutation. Sexual recombination. What Preserves Genetic ...

What causes genetic variation? Explain how the cause above can lead to variation in phenotype. State the theory of evolution by natural selection. What is a ‘species’? Define ‘natural selection’. What is evolution? Why can genetic mutation be beneficial to organisms in a changing environment?

Examples of variation caused by genetic factors include eye colour and blood group. Genetic variation is inherited, as certain genetic factors can be passed on in families. Environmental – the phenotype of an organism can also be affected by environmental factors.

(genetic – can be passed on to next generation) e.g. tongue rolling. Causes of inherited variation: Sexual reproduction. Gamete formation - independent assortment of homologous chromosomes during meiosis ensures genetic variation among gametes. Crossing over - of linked genes, during meiosis, enhances genetic variation. Recombination

The two main causes of heritable variation are mutations and recombinations. 2 (i) Entirely genetic: eye colour, maleness, blood group, natural hair colour, sickle-cell . anaemia. (ii) Environmental and genetic: obesity, tallness, ability to sing, masculinity, agility. 3

The phenotype's genetic basis, the genotype associated with the favorable phenotype, will increase in frequency over the following generations. Over time, this process may result in adaptations that specialize organisms for particular ecological niches and may eventually result in the emergence of new species.
Genetic variation
The triggering causes in the context of heritability analysis are genes or genetic variation (and environment or environmental variation). These are assumed to be relevant causal factors. Whether these are valid causal factors or categories can be discussed, …
