Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Genetic variation occurs in what type of reproduction
A
Sexual
B
Asexual
C
Both
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation, or genetic differences, between parents and offspring. Offspring inherit one set of chromosomes from each parent. So, an offspring has a mixture of chromosomes (and alleles) from its two parents.

Detailed explanation-2: -Asexual species, on the other hand, do not have genetic variability like we do-each of their offspring has the exact same genetic makeup as their parent.

Detailed explanation-3: -In sexual reproduction, chromosomes can sometimes swap sections during the process of meiosis (cell division), thereby creating new genetic combinations and thus more genetic variation.
