A: Mitosis! Since mitosis is the literal cloning of cells, it wouldn't increase genetic diversity of the gene pool.

Mitosis enhances genetic continuity rather than variation. Mitosis is responsible for the growth, repair, and maintenance in organisms. Mitosis occurs when simple organisms, like a paramecium, reproduce asexually. All organisms have the same four nitrogen bases within their DNA, but how they are expressed in individuals is a result of their rearrangement as well as changes or mutations during sexual reproduction.
