Question 16

what is Mutations and Sexual Reproduction

Answer 16

(meiotic crossover) produces the variation
(variety) seen in sexually reproducing
species.

Question 17

what is Variation

Answer 17

allows a species to best adapt

to a rapidly changing environment thereby
increasing chance of survival.

Question 18

what is Interesting FACT

Answer 18

In laboratory experiments, most mutations
are either neutral (= no effect on the
organism) or delterious (= harmful to the
organism). Rarely, are mutations beneficial
to the organisms. In these rare cases, they
are found to be SNP’s (= Single Nucleotide
Polymorphism) type mutations.
