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.
