What is one source of genetic variations in sexual reproduction?

It is through mutation.


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.


Which process is a cause of variation in a species?

Sexual Reproduction Genetic mutation


A change in the genetic material that produces variation in a species may be the result of?

immigration, mutation and sexual 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.


Does asexual reproduction contribute to sexual variation?

No. Asexual reproduction provides no diversity, as it creates an exact copy of the organism. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, provides diversity by using and combining different genes each time to create an entirely new version of the organism.


What do sexual reproduction mutation and crossing-over generate in a population?

Sexual reproduction, mutation, and crossing-over generate genetic diversity in a population. This diversity increases the chances of individuals adapting to changing environments and evolving over time.


Why does sexual reproduction result in more genetics variation in a species than asexual reproduction?

Asexual reproduction results in offspring which are genetically the same as the parent organism (not counting a rare mutation). Sexual reproduction produces a random mixture of the genetics derived from both parents.In sexual reproduction, offspring are not identical to either parent.


What two sources do genetic variation in living things include?

mutation in the DNA order and sexual reproduction of the favorable animal in the ecosystem.


What is the significance of sexual mode of reproduction?

Sexual reproduction allows for greater variation and adaptability within a species because changes in DNA can accumulate through both mutation within the DNA sequence as well as by recombination with different versions of the genes.


What two processes can lead to inherited variation in populations?

Two processes that can lead to inherited variation in populations are sexual reproduction, which involves the mixing of genetic material from two parents, and mutations, which are random changes in an organism's DNA that can be passed on to offspring.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of both asexual and sexual reproduction?

Asexual reproduction does not lead to genetic variations while sexual reproduction leads to genetic variations. In asexual reproduction there is no limitation/restrictions for gametes to be fertilized.In sexual reproduction if either of the gametes do not function/not present then the possibility of reproduction becomes nil.Asexual reproduction gives rise to multiple daughter cells from mother cells while sexual reproduction normally gives rise to only two daughter cells.
