What else can I help you with?
Why does sexual reproduction result in more in genetic variation in a species?
It mixes the chromosomes of the two parents
What results in the most diverse offspring?
Sexual reproduction leads to variety in offspring.
A change in the genetic material that produces variation in a species may be the result of?
immigration, mutation and sexual reproduction.
Does sexual reproduction result in more genetic 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.
Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from?
Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from sexual reproduction, as bacteria typically reproduce asexually by binary fission.
Is adaptations a genetic basis for variation within a species?
No, adaptations usually do not result in any genotypical change in a species.
Which type of reproduction results in the greatest amount of genetic variation?
That would be sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction allows for independent assortment and crossing over to occur. This is fancy language for the genetic material gets mixed up a lot. Since the genetic material gets mixed up, variation will result.
Why is there no variation as a result of asexual reproduction?
Asexual reproduction involves a single organism replicating itself, resulting in offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. This lack of genetic variation occurs because the offspring are produced through processes like mitosis, which do not involve recombination of genetic material. As a result, any mutations that may occur are the only source of variation, but these are typically minimal compared to the genetic diversity generated through sexual reproduction. Consequently, asexual reproduction can limit adaptability to changing environments.
Why does sexual production result in more genetic variation in a species?
It mixes the chromosomes of the two parents
What is a result of the limited genetic variation in the current cheetah population compared to earlier cheetah populations with more variation?
d. current populations of cheetahs are able to interbreed with other species, increasing genetic variation.

Which of these is the major difference between asexual and sexual reproduction in sea stars?
The major difference is that asexual reproduction in sea stars involves the regeneration of a new individual from a severed part of the sea star, while sexual reproduction involves the fusion of gametes from two separate individuals to produce offspring with genetic variation.
