    This document discusses genetic variation in tropical tree species. It defines genetic variation as genetic differences within a population that explain evolutionary change and phenotypic variation. The four main sources of genetic variation are mentioned as mutation, genetic drift, selection, and gene flow. The document then reviews studies on genetic variation in several tropical tree species, finding both low and high levels of variation between species. Factors that can influence genetic variation in tropical trees are also noted.

    Variation in Tropical Tree
    Species
    Genetic Variation
    • Genetic differences within a population.
    • Species exhibit different genotypes
    (alleles) at each gene locus
    • It explains the evolutionary change or
    adaptive potential and dictates the
    phenotypic variation of any tree
    population or species, expressed across
    their morphological or physiological
    traits.
    Source of Genetic Variation
    • Genetic variation is a result of four evolutionary factors: mutation,
    random genetic drift, selection, and gene flow or migration
    ⚬ Mutation -heritable changes in an individual's genetic structure
    that are not caused by gene interaction or recombination.
    ⚬ Genetic drift - random fluctuations of genetic structures often
    due to limited population size.
    ⚬ Selection - a process whereby a population’s genetic
    composition changes due to the greater reproductive
    contribution of individuals better suited to the environmental
    conditions.
    ⚬ Gene flow or migration - movement of alleles from one
    population to another through fruit, seed or pollen dispersal
