Question

HELP ASAP (ﾉ*ФωФ)ﾉ When a species has high genetic variation, the population of that species has a wide variety of genetic traits, such as eye color and nose shape. Do you think one reproductive process promotes higher genetic variation than the other? Explain your reasoning.

Please, you don't have to answer if you don't want to but at least tell me in an easy explanation what this question means.

Also please do not put a random answer or you will get reported and lose your pointsss so please PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Answer 1

No because for example if a person has two kids they will most likely look different so genetics cannot be stronger than the other because even though they could have the same mom and dad they will not be stronger than one another.

Answer 2

Yes, I believe genetic variation is higher in offspring depending on the reproductive process; especially through process 2 due to the blending/combination of DNA from two parents rather than DNA being duplicated from a parent cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Process 2 is the blending of genes from two parents while process 1 is essentially direct DNA duplication from one parent cell. Take for example humans which are reproduced by two parents. Across the world humans vary greatly in their traits, take for example people with red hair, brown hair, green eyes, blue eyes, right handed, left handed, etc. This is a demonstration of genetic variation as humans over thousands of years have reproduced and passed on traits from two parents which overtime become more and more varied. Compared to process 1, which is just direct duplication of DNA from the parent cell rather than 2 parents reproducing and sharing traits/DNA into their offspring.

Hope this helped! Feel free to ask questions if needed!
