biological parameter > genetic variability

Preferred term

genetic variability  

Definition

  • Genetic variability is either the presence of, or the generation of, genetic differences. It is defined as the formation of individuals differing in genotype, or the presence of genotypically different individuals, in contrast to environmentally induced differences which, as a rule, cause only temporary, nonheritable changes of the phenotype. Genetic variability in a population is important for biodiversity. (Adapted from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_variability)
