1)Which of the following is a source of genetic variation
I. Mutations
II. Polygenic traits
III. Genetic shuffling that results from sexual reproduction
A. I only
B. I and III only
C. II and III only
D. I, II and III

Respuesta :

The answer is; B

Mutations change the order of nucleotide and therefore affects codons that code for proteins. A different protein is thus produced from the wild type hence creating variations. Ā Genetic shuffling in sexual reproduction, also called gene recombination occurs during meiosis and also when different organisms exchange genetic material such as in bacteria. Ā
