In which scenario would you expect genetic variation among offspring resulting from sexual reproduction?
When both parents are genetically identical.
When mutations occur in one parent.
When the offspring are produced from one parent.
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.
