Question

The structuring of population based on attributes

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Abstract

Population structure is defined by the organization of genetic variation and is driven by the combined effects of evolutionary processes that include recombination, mutation, genetic drift, demographic history, and natural selection. In this chapter, the authors discuss how population boundaries within species of pathogenic bacteria are delineated, and the contribution of evolutionary processes to the formation of distinct, or sometimes fuzzy, populations. The authors highlight some studies that have been aided by advancements in whole-genome sequencing and have broadened our understanding of bacterial population structure.
