Genetic Variation

Biology ⇒ Genetics and Heredity

Genetic Variation starts at 9 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Genetic Variation. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A population of beetles has two color forms: green and brown. If a disease kills only green beetles, what will happen to the genetic variation in the population?
A population of rabbits has a gene with two alleles, A and a. If the frequency of A is 0.7, what is the frequency of a?
Describe how genetic drift can affect genetic variation in small populations.
Describe one way in which sexual reproduction increases genetic variation.
Describe the difference between genotype and phenotype in the context of genetic variation.
Explain how gene flow can introduce new alleles into a population.
Explain how mutations contribute to genetic variation.
Explain the role of independent assortment in genetic variation.
Explain why genetic variation is important for the survival of a species.
Explain why populations with low genetic variation are at greater risk of extinction.
