Is genetic variation important to populations and if so, why?
A) It is not important-having all of the same genes, when they are beneficial, is the optimum situation.
B) Variations tend to lead to new genetic diseases and are therefore not beneficial in most instances.
C) Genetic variation tends to buffer the inevitably changing environmental conditions and is thus of a selective advantage to populations that are genetically diverse.
D) Genetic diversity is rarely advantageous because it is associated with new mutations which are almost always deleterious.
E) Genetic variation tends to have little effect on the long term survival of most populations.
