What is one source of genetic variations in sexual reproduction?
It is through mutation.
What does mutation and sexual reproduction lead to?
Microevolution
What is the source of genetic variation in asexual reproduction?
Mutation.
Which process is a cause of variation in a species?
Sexual Reproduction Genetic mutation
What is an advantage of sexual repoduction?
Sexual reproduction creates variaty that asexual reproduction cannot provide. If we were all asexual, that means that there are very little variaty(the little part is caused by mutation) and that we would all look alike and be alike. The problem with this is that if a disease spreads in the population that is lethal to one person, then it will be lethal to everyone in that population(unless there was a mutation). Our being able to reproduce sexually has made it easy to not die by a disease that might be lethal to one person.
What is one source of genetic variations in sexual reproduction?
It is through mutation.
What does mutation and sexual reproduction lead to?
Microevolution
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless what occurs?
Asexual reproduction results in identical offspring unless a mutation occurs. Mutation is a process wherein the genetic material of an organism is altered.
What changes in the number type or order of DNA bases?
Asexual reproduction
Which mutation can disrupt the control of cell reproduction?
Cancer
What is the source of genetic variation in asexual reproduction?
Mutation.
As a result of sexual reproduction an organism can pass a gene mutation to its offspring if the mutation occurs in?
germ cells
Is mutation the same as successful reproduction?
A mutation is basically a change in genes. They may be good or bad. A good mutation is also known as an adaptation.
What of the four evolutionary mechanisms is responsible for adaptation?
Mutation, Reproduction.
What is the genetic outcome of asexual reproduction?
an organism genetically identical to its parent, unless mutation occurs. Even in the case of mutation, there is less genetic diversity than there would be in sexual reproduction.
What five conditions control that rate at which evolution occurs?
Generation time, mutation rate, asexual vs sexual reproduction, strength of selective pressures, population size
What are the two main sources of genetic variation and which of them is more common?
The two main sources of genetic variation are sexual reproduction, and mutation. Sexual reproduction is more common.
