Population genetics and microevolution
... Where does the variation come from? Ultimately, all genetic variation in living organisms originates as mutations. The variation we observe in a population is also determined by: 1) recombination (sexual reproduction) 2) the spread of variants in a population due to drift, and 3) the effects of envi ...
