Mutations are a source of what in a species?
Genetic variation, which can lead to evoloution, and then potentially a new species.
Which of these is not a source of genetic variation in a population?
The answer is sexual reproduction
What are the sources of genetic variation in bacteria and humans?
The most important source of variability in bacteria is mutation.
Which of the following is least likely to be a source of genetic variation among living organisms?
Things that kill the organism, such as, immature lungs at birth.
What is the different between genetic material and genetic information?
DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid which is made up of phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and organic nitrogenous bases. It is a totality of both codons and anticodons. it is the source of genetic information. Genetic information refers to the code or specific information carried by a codon (nucleotide) which can be "transcribed" into a messenger RNA to build a specific protein, enzyme or hormone in the body.
What is the source of genetic variation that refers to random error in the genetic code?

Which is a source of genetic variation in sexually-reproducting organisms?
Basic source of variation in all organisms is mutation .
What is a source of genetic variation that involves the swapping of sections of chromosomes during meiosis.?
What is a source of genetic variation that involves the swapping of sections of chromosomes during meiosis.?
What is the ultimate source of genetic variation and the basis for the diversity of life on earth?
Mutations. These have quite a few different causes. Sexual reproduction is a "more recent source" {beginning 600 million years ago} of genetic variability. The process of sharing genetic information, coupled with the random crossing and mixing of genetic information during the creation of a new organism, leads to another source of genetic variability.
