Question
Genetic variation is not caused by:
Natural selection
Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction
Mutation
Natural selection
Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction
Mutation
Hint:
Genetic variation is not seen in individuals produced when only one parent is involved.
The correct answer is: Asexual reproduction
- Asexual reproduction creates an exact genetic copy of the parent organism (cloning).
- Unlike sexual reproduction, asexual reproduction introduces genetic variation into a population only when random mutations in an organism's DNA are passed on to offspring. It does not introduce genetic variation into the population.
- The disease can affect all individuals in a population.
