Question

Genetic variation in natural populations tends to be O O O O O high because of rapidly changing environments low because of neutral polymorphisms low because of weak selection high because of intensive selection high because of neutral polymorphisms The biological species concept cannot be readily applied when studying O geographically isolated groups O species exhibiting a high amount of genetic variation O species that produce a low number of offspring O polyploid species O asexually reproducing organisms

Explanation / Answer

Answer 2: The biological species concept cannot be readily applied when studying asexually reproducing organisms ( as also while studying extinct ones) because the concept defines species on the basis of their ability to interbreed to produce viable and fertile offspring. This definition makes it difficult for asexually reproduced and extinct animals to be easily characterized and apply the biological species concept readily on them.
