Not exact matches

Even if Noah impregnated all of them at once, or his sons did their respective wives, and then they all repeated the process 14 years later (give or take) when the 1st offspring became fertile, how could different races with distinct physiological adaptation arise from such a small, virtually identical gene pool 4,000 years ago?

Unlike many populations of animals that undergo genetic changes over numerous generations and improve their camouflage against the environment, sand fleas from the different beaches begin life as a planktonic larval stage and so are likely to come from the same gene pool.

«One of the amazing things about the influenza virus is its ability to grab genes from different pools,» he says.

The groups that evolved into bonobos, chimps, and humans all retained slightly different subsets of this ancestral population's diverse gene pool — and those differences now offer clues today to the size and range of diversity in that ancestral group.

Locally raised queens could be better adapted to their environments and are genetically different from their long - distance cousins, adding some much needed diversity to the gene pool.

The isolated populations then undergo genotype and phenotype divergence as natural selection pressures differ in their separate ecosystems, they undergo genetic drift in separated populations, and different mutations differ in their isolated gene pools.

Dating a person of a different race actually helps with genetic diversity and is only helping to prolong and improve the human gene pool.

Some breeders favor different styles of Golden Retrievers and some may even have a personal preference for a lighter or a darker golden, but good breeders never focus exclusively on a specific colour, since this would unnecessarily narrow the gene - pool and may cause genetic predispositions towards hereditary health issues to become magnified over time.

The dog has an incredibly adaptive gene pool which is why we have so many different types of dogs from the Great Dane to the Chihuahua.

However, hybrid dogs typically have much fewer genetic problems than purebred dogs do because even though breeders are mating two different types of first generation purebred dogs, the gene pool is still mixed more than it would be after mating two purebred animals of the same breed.

Because when they're considered different breeds, they can't be bred together, which means each «breed» has its own small gene pool instead of one large one.

Keeping each gene pool separate from the others means some of their health problems are a little different.

Doing a genetic test and subsequently eliminating an individual from the breeding population may not be the best strategy, as by targeting a particular allele at one genetic locus for removal from the gene pool of a particular breed, breeders may in fact increase allele frequency of genetic variants on alternative haplotypes at the same, or a different locus, that are recessively deleterious.
