Genetic Variation

Genetic variation in the shells of Donax variabilis

Genetic variation in the shells of Donax variabilis

An enormous amount of phenotypic variation exists in the shells of Donax varabilis, otherwise known as the coquina mollusc. This phenotypic variation is due at least partly to genetic variation within the coquina population.
