Genetic Variation and My Reebop




Genetic variation is a variation among alleles of genes. It is variety of genomes (complete set of genes in an organism) among species. In this case that is our Reebop friends.
How do the reebops demonstrate genetic variety?
They demonstrate genetic variety because each reebop is different. What I mean by that is that if you look at each of the reebops we created you are less than likely to find to many of the same ones. Not only because of the allelles but also because of the color pertaining to the parent reebop. For example you could find two of them with the exact same combination of chromosomes but the colors pertaining to them could be entirely different. One could be a mix of blue, yellow, and brown; while another could be a mix of orange, pink, and white. This variety is also in the traits. There could be two reebops of the same parents that do not look alike. For example you could have a brother with long legs and a sister with short legs. This variety expands among our little reebop population.
