Biodiversity is a measure of the range of living organisms within a habitat. A gene pool is the range of DNA in a species. Biodiversity can be maintained by conservation, preservation and gene banks.
"A lot of our conservation herds are deprived of new genetics and so the gene pool is not as deep as we want it to be and it needs to be," he said. Adams said researchers have been working on ...
Tomato breeding has historically depended on a narrow genetic pool, leading to decreased diversity and loss of valuable traits. Traditional methods and biparental populations fall short in ...
Medical anthropologist and bioethicist Julia Brown says scientists and nonscientists need to talk about whether and how we should use CRISPR to edit the fetal genome. When you purchase through ...
