Genetic Variation within a population: Dogs

Genetic Variation is variation in alleles of genes, occurs both within and among populations. It is important because it provides the “raw material” for natural selection. This is our Dog Care & Training Project in 4-H and as you can tell, there is a variation of dogs. We have big dogs, small dogs, black dogs, golden dogs, all in the same 4-H Club and in the same population. They will always be different, and that’s what keeps things interesting.
