Name: ________________________ Period: __________ MT: Allele Frequency Genetic Variation Increases Survival Study Guide 1. Define genetic variation in your own words and give a synonym of it. 2. What are the causes of genetic variation within a species? 3. Draw a picture of 3 individuals in a species of your choice and show the variation that is amongst them. 4. List 5 ways that individuals of lions can show variation. a. b. c. d. e. 5. Why does nature favor or want variation within a species? 6. If all individuals in a species were exactly the same, do they have a low or high chance of survival if something happens to their environment? Explain. 7. If all individuals in a species were exactly the same, could natural selection occur? Explain. 8. Population X consists of a group of hares (rabbits) that are genetically similar. Population Y consists of a group of hares (rabbits) that are genetically varied. If they both live in the same habitat and something changes in their habitat, which population is more likely to survive? Explain.
