Well-connected populations are each likely to harbor more genetic variation within populations, although the populations will also be less genetically differentiated.
There is more genetic variation within what are called "races" than between them.
The more genetic variation that exists in a population, the greater the opportunity for evolution to occur.
These parental varieties must therefore have been very different from one another, for 11.2% is far more genetic variation than exists between, say, a chimpanzee and a human.Dr Velasco's efforts have discovered a treasure trove of information for technologically oriented winemakers.
In general, more genetic variation was detected in indica than japonica rice.
And, of course, mutation continues to produce more genetic variation every generation.
If we focus conservation efforts on basin C, we will preserve more evolutionary history and likely more genetic variation and evolutionary potential for the future.
They had more genetic variation among them than all the Neandertals so far sequenced, although Neandertals are known to be similar genetically.
He says, "Natural populations include more genetic variation and recombination that puts together unique gene combinations, which show the complexity of organisms responding to environmental perturbations".
If the viruses found in camels show more genetic variation than those isolated from humans, that is further strong evidence that camels are infecting humans and not the other way around.
