Question

Genetic variation is not caused by:

  1. Natural selection

  2. Asexual reproduction

  3. Sexual reproduction

  4. Mutation

hintHint:

The type of reproduction where only one parent is involved shows no genetic variation.

The correct answer is:

Asexual reproduction


    • There are two methods of reproduction: sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Two parents are involved in sexual reproduction.
    • However, only one parent is involved in asexual reproduction. Identical copies of genetic material are passed from one parent to the offspring.
    • Offspring are genetically and morphologically identical to their parents. You are an exact copy or clone of your parent.
    • In asexual reproduction, there is no recombination of genetic material. Therefore, individuals produced by asexual reproduction have no mutations or genetic variation.
