could you tell what gene pool conservation is in relation to bioreserves?

Answer 1

you must check the genes within each bioreserve to relate the gene pools. hope that helps

Answer 2

It's probably best if we begin by defining our terms so we're all talking about the same things here.

The 'gene pool' is the complete set of every variation of every gene that you would find if you examined every living creature of one species. So if something starts killing everyone with blue eyes, it's going to affect the gene pool, in that the amount of those particular genes will go down. And if EVERY blue-eyed gene is eliminated, the pool will be smaller.

A 'bioreserve' is a specific type of conservation scheme, where a 'natural' area is surrounded by 'intermediate' areas and then beyond that are presumably completely unnatural areas. Given that before humans arrived on the scene, EVERYTHING was a 'natural' area, a bioreserve may be a poor simulation of a natural state for some creatures. But it's a lot better than nothing, and sometimes it's the best compromise that can be struck between preservation and economy of land use.

So we can see how the two concepts might interact. Establishing bioreserves is one way to try and preserve a species, and ideally its entire gene pool. However, their relatively isolated nature might isolate different groups of the same species into different bioreserves, which can have a lot of potential impacts on the nature of the gene pool, and perhaps even fail to preserve it much if the species don't do well in the new conditions.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

Let me give you an example. In India, there is Gir forest. There are a bunch of animals and plants (let's right now talk only about Asiatic Lions) that exist there and we pretty much know the asiatics lions are pretty much non existent anywhere else. Now the Gir Sanctuary is a bioreserve (also called biosphere) to make sure there will be some asiatic lions (gene pool) left.

So, you find and dedicate a place that has plants and animals that either don't seem to exist in other places or vanishing slowly, you make sure that place is well protected so that there will be those animals and plants left, just so that we can conserve the genes.

That's all there is, as far as I know.
