Question
Mutations do not cause variation.
- True
- False
Hint:
Variation is difference in genetic makeup between two individuals.
The correct answer is 'False'.
- Variation is difference in genetic makeup between two individuals
- Mutation is the change in genetic makeup of individuals caused due to inborne error or due to external factors
- Mutation gives rise to variations
- For example, most of the population has normal blood hemoglobin. Due to point mutation, in some individuals, the normal is replaced by S hemoglobin which is a variation.
- Hence, mutation can produce variations
