The salamanders of the genus Ambystoma in northeastern North America are an entirely female population that reproduces asexually through the process of cloning. However, they have developed a way of inserting DNA from other species of salamanders into their own DNA. How has DNA from other salamander species helped these Ambystoma salamanders survive environmental changes over the past 6 million years? By making the DNA more similar across the population By creating many genetically identical individuals By decreasing the mutations that occur in the DNA By increasing genetic diversity in the population

Genome annotation

The technique of linking biological information to genome sequences is termed genome annotation. Gene annotation is the method of identifying gene locations and coding sections. It helps us understand what these genes are doing in the body through establishing structural characteristics and linking them to the actions of various proteins.
