They have extremely short generation times and large populations.
They can exchange DNA with many types of prokaryotes by way of horizontal gene transfer

Genetic variation is a necessary condition of which process?
Genetic variation is one of the conditions required for Natural Selection to occur.
What increases genetic variations?
A large population increases genetics variation. Mutation will also increase genetics variation.
Breeders can increase the genetic variation by inducing what?
The introduction of animals into a breeding population that are unrelated will increase genetic variation.
Which is responsible for genetic variation mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis is responsible for genetic variation
Which procedure can not be used to increase genetic variation?
If a population dwindles, there is low genetic variation and a species may risk extinction.
What is One consequence of genetic drift is?
Loss of genetic variation(:Novanet:)
What is a source of genetic variation in organisms?
Human recombination is a significant source of genetic variation.
Relate genetic variation and mutations to each other?
mutations cause genetic variation, and vice-versa. If there is a genetic variation (or lack of one), then this can effect the severity of the mutation.
Does the graph of an inverse variation pass through the origin?
Inverse variation does not pass through the origin, however direct variation always passes through the origin.
Which of these is necessary for natural selection to occur genetic engeneering genetic variation asexual reproduction or enviormental stability?
Genetic variation is necessary for natural selection to occur. This variation provides the raw material for differential survival and reproduction, which drives the process of natural selection. Without genetic variation, there would be no differences for natural selection to act upon.
Is Natural selection a source of genetic variation in a population?
No, natural selection works on that genetic variation presented to it.
What contributes to genetic variation?
The patterns of nitrogenous bases in DNA encoded on the genes creates genetic variation.
What process is responsible for genetic variation?
The process responsible for genetic variation is genetic recombination, which occurs during meiosis when genetic material is exchanged between homologous chromosomes. Mutations, which are changes in the DNA sequence, also contribute to genetic variation.
Do you no two examples of Inherited variation?
genetic and environmental variation
Genetic variation is a necessary condition of which process?
Genetic variation is one of the conditions required for Natural Selection to occur.
What mechanism is not a mechanism for genetic variation?
Mechanisms such as gene flow, mutation, genetic drift, and natural selection are all considered mechanisms for genetic variation. Non-genetic mechanisms, such as Lamarckian inheritance or acquired characteristics, are not considered valid mechanisms for genetic variation in the traditional sense.
What do stabilization selection and disruptive selection have in common?
They both decrease genetic variation. Stabilizing selection and disruptive selection reduce genetic variation
