Question
Genetic variation is not caused by:
Natural selection
Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction
Mutation
Natural selection
Asexual reproduction
Sexual reproduction
Mutation
Hint:
The type of reproduction where only one parent is involved shows no genetic variation.
The correct answer is: Asexual reproduction
- There are two methods of reproduction: sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Two parents are involved in sexual reproduction.
- However, only one parent is involved in asexual reproduction. Identical copies of genetic material are passed from one parent to the offspring.
- Offspring are genetically and morphologically identical to their parents. You are an exact copy or clone of your parent.
- In asexual reproduction, there is no recombination of genetic material. Therefore, individuals produced by asexual reproduction have no mutations or genetic variation.
