Genetic Evolution

Sexual reproduction produces distinct population variations. Heredity determines the traits and qualities to be passed down to the progeny. Over time, this variation within-species is also affected by the process of human evolution. The study of how genetic variation leads to evolutionary changes is known as genetic evolution. If a trait helps an organism to survive and reproduce, it is more likely to be passed down the generations. It is rare that such traits result in a completely distinct set of traits in descendants than the ancestral population; this can result in the emergence of a new species.

Step 1 The branch of Biological Sciences that deals with the study of genome is known as Genomics. The genome is the complete set of genetic information present in an organism. As per the guidelines, the answers for the first 3 questions are being provided here. The student is requested to upload the remaining questions separately. Step 2 Question 1: GWAS or Genome-wide Association Study is a method for identifying the genes that are responsible for giving an organism its phenotype. This method is very useful because - • It provides information on the SNPs that need our attention in order to know about the genetic risk for a particular condition in an organism. • The SNP identification makes it possible to understand the mechanisms that might cause the genetic risk and also might provide a scope to clarify the differences between the alleles. • This method can find genomic variants that cause a particular trait or disease in an individual. GWAS can solve problems such as - Finding out…
