Theorems on Genetic Variation

Theorems on genetic variation describe how differences in genes are maintained or change within populations over time. These include principles like mutation (new gene variations appear), genetic drift (random changes in gene frequencies), and natural selection (favoring certain traits). Together, they explain why populations have diverse genetic traits, which is vital for adaptation and evolution. These theorems help scientists understand how genetic diversity persists despite changing environments and how it influences the development, survival, and evolution of species.
