Question

directions: drag the correct answer to each box. match each type of genetic variation with the best example. type of genetic variation example mutation gene flow sexual reproduction the wind carries seeds from a flower population in one field to a flower population in another field. a chicken with black feathers mates with a rooster with white feathers and has an offspring with black and white feathers. a change in the dna of bacteria results in some of the bacteria being resistant to antibiotics.

Explanation:

• Mutation: A mutation is a change in DNA. The example "A change in the DNA of bacteria results in some of the bacteria being resistant to antibiotics" fits as it involves a DNA change.
• Gene flow: Gene flow is the transfer of genetic material between populations. The wind carrying seeds (with genetic material) between flower populations matches, so "The wind carries seeds from a flower population in one field to a flower population in another field" is for gene flow.
• Sexual reproduction: Sexual reproduction involves mating and combining genetic material. The chicken and rooster mating to produce offspring with mixed feather traits ("A chicken with black feathers mates with a rooster with white feathers and has an offspring with black and white feathers") is the example.

Answer:

• Mutation: A change in the DNA of bacteria results in some of the bacteria being resistant to antibiotics.
• Gene flow: The wind carries seeds from a flower population in one field to a flower population in another field.
• Sexual reproduction: A chicken with black feathers mates with a rooster with white feathers and has an offspring with black and white feathers.
