In which scenario would you expect genetic variation among offspring resulting from sexual reproduction?

1

When both parents are genetically identical.

2

3

When the offspring are produced from one parent.

4

When environmental factors are consistent.

Answer and Solution

Answer

B. When mutations occur in one parent.

Solution:

Genetic variation among offspring results from combining the genetic material of two different parents. If one parent has mutations, it introduces new traits. The other options either imply a lack of variation or do not involve sexual reproduction.
