1. How does sexual reproduction lead to genetic variation?
2. What are two ways to measure the genetic variation of a population?

Answer: sure 1. Only one chromosome from each homologous pair is included randomly when a parent forms a gamete. So, an offspring might inherit a different combination of chromosomes (and alleles) compared to its siblings. 2. 1 Gene variability (can be quantified as the average percentage of loci that are heterozygous)2) nucleotide variability (genetic variation at the molecular level of DNA)

Explanation: to simplify this a little bit no one person will ever be genetically identical to another because humans require 2 people to produce offspring, not 1 if we only required 1 offspring would be genetically identical to the parent

hope this helps

Answer:

1.What Combinations of Sex Chromosomes Represents a Female? List Ways in which Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic DNA Differ What Causes Gametes to Have Only One Allele? What Happens to a Cell if It Does Not Separate Correctly During Anaphase? What Can Happen if Meiosis Goes Wrong? Sexual reproduction provides genetic diversity because the sperm and egg that are produced contain different combinations of genes than the parent organisms.Explanation:
