Genetic recombination can bring different types of adaptations to life and mutations can make things change their looks also. The mutations can make individuals change into different adaptations. Mutations effect extinction a lot because they can kill animals becuause they don't have a certain adaptation. Genetic recombination can make a new species by taking genes from both the parents.

Genetic recombination can bring different types of adaptations to life. It can also make a new species by taking genes from both the parents. Mutations make animals and plants look different too. It could lead to a whole new species eventually.

Genetic recombination is when you bring different types of adaptations to life. Mutations can make individuals change into different adapatations. THe mutations can cause animals to die because they dont have a certain adaptation which causes extinction.

Genetic recobination can bring different types of adaptations to life. It can also make mutations that can make things change their look. The mutations can make individuals have different adaptations. Mutations affect extinction, because it may be a bad mutation that makes them easier to be killed. Genetic recombination can make a new species.

The mutations can make things change into different adaptations. Genetic recombination can make a new species by taking genes from both of the parents. Genetic recombination can also bring different types of adaptations to life and mutatinos.

They have emerged new species by giving up different ways to get their make up. Such that many things have similar dna but no animals is the same. This also created different adaptations like we know which animals live in what type of environments.

Mutations make animals and plants look different and effect extinction. Genetic recombination brings the different types of adaptations to life which can be changed by mutations. Also when you have mutations they can mutate so much that there is a new species or cause evolution to where we get a new species.

genetic recombination brings different types of adaptions to life and mutations make things change. b/c mutations make things change, individuals need to change into different adaptions. genetic recombination also makes new species by taking genes from both the parents, and w/mutations, changes, could lead to killing animals. also when theres mutations, they can mutate so that there are new species or cause evolution

genetic recombination can make new kinds of adaptations and can change an animal so it can survive in other areas. natural selection means the strongest survive so the animals and people that adapt best will live. that also means evolution can change animals and can cause extinction too.

Genetic recombination is a major source of variation in organisms. Variation is important to species because it forms the basis for evolution. During genetic recombination though, mutations can occur. This may lead to animals dying or adapting. And we all know that adapting can lead to new species.
