Question

1. genetic variation occurs in what type of reproduction?

a. asexual
b. sexual
c. both

Explanation:

In sexual reproduction, genetic variation occurs due to processes like meiosis (which creates gametes with unique combinations of chromosomes) and fertilization (where gametes from two parents combine). Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent (except for rare mutations). So genetic variation mainly occurs in sexual reproduction.

Answer:

B. sexual
