Question

what is one way that genetic diversity is introduced into a population? pure breeding genetic recombination bottlenecking

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• "Pure Breeding" (likely a typo for "Pure Breeding") involves organisms with homozygous traits, which does not introduce new genetic diversity.
• "Genetic Recombination" (e.g., during meiosis or sexual reproduction) shuffles genetic material, creating new allele combinations and increasing genetic diversity.
• "Bottlenecking" is a genetic drift event that reduces genetic diversity, not introduce it.

Thus, Genetic Recombination is the process that introduces genetic diversity.

Answer:

Genetic Recombination (the option labeled "Genetic Recombination")
