Gene flow often increases genetic diversity of populations that come together. Which of these is an example of when gene flow could reduce genetic diversity if two populations (Population A and Population B) come together? O The offspring with parents from population A and B have low survival because they are not adapted to the environment. O Individuals from population A have an allele that is not found in population B. O Individuals from population B have an allele that is not found in population B O Population A only has homozygous recessive alleles and population B only has homozygous dominant alleles.

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation refers to the variation in the genome sequences between individual organisms of a species. Individual differences or population differences can both be referred to as genetic variations. It is primarily caused by mutation, but other factors such as genetic drift and sexual reproduction also play a major role.

Quantitative Genetics

Quantitative genetics is the part of genetics that deals with the continuous trait, where the expression of various genes influences the phenotypes. Thus genes are expressed together to produce a trait with continuous variability. This is unlike the classical traits or qualitative traits, where each trait is controlled by the expression of a single or very few genes to produce a discontinuous variation.
