Is there more or less variation with asexual reproduction?
There is less variation with asexual 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.
Which of these is the major difference between asexual and sexual reproduction in sea stars?
There is genetic variation in the sea stars as a result of sexual reproduction.
Reproduction that does not produce variation among the offspring?
Asexual
What is the source of genetic variation in asexual reproduction?
Mutation.
Asexual reproduction increases genetic variation-the raw material on which natural selection operates?
Asexual reproduction decreases genetic variation which is the raw material on which natural selection operates. This is because asexual reproduction produces identical offspring to the parent.
Which produces genetic variation asexual or sexual reproduction?
both
Which breeding system reduces genetic variation in a population?
Asexual reproduction.
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.

Why is there great Variation in the offspring produced through sexual reproduction but little or no variation in the offspring produced through asexual reproduction?
In asexual reproduction there is no independent orientation of chromosomes, not crossing over and no random fertilization. Cloning the exact genetic material from organism to progeny is all asexual reproduction is. So, very little chance of anything but mutation, copying errors, are going to happen in asexual reproduction.
Would you get a variety of offspring traits during asexual or sexual reproduction?
Sexual reproduction promotes variation.
