Genetic variance refers to the diversity of alleles and genotypes within a population, which contributes to the population's ability to adapt and evolve. It is a crucial component of evolutionary biology, influencing traits and fitness, and is driven by mechanisms such as mutation, recombination, and natural selection.

Evolutionary biology is the study of the processes that have led to the diversity of life on Earth, focusing on the mechanisms of evolution such as natural selection, genetic drift, and gene flow. It integrates insights from genetics, paleontology, and ecology to understand how organisms adapt over time and how new species arise.
