Answer:

Genetic Variation

Step-by-step explanation:

Mutations, gene flow, and sexual reproduction causes genetic variation. Mutatio is the changes in the sequence of genes in the DNA. Gene flow is the movement of genes from one organism to another, and sexual reproduction, is where new combinations of genes are created.
