Answer:

The correct answer is option d) age of either or both parents.

Explanation:

Genetic variation is the difference in nucleotide sequences between individuals organisms within a particular population. Variation can occur either in germ cells that are sperm and egg or in somatic cells or in both.

Random fertilization of egg and sperm can lead to genetic variation is every germ cell has a different set of chromosomes. Independent assortment of chromosomes is also the same as random fertilization as it is also random. Crossing over of homologous chromosomes is one of a major source of the genetic variation as it forms a new set of chromosomes.

Thus, the correct answer is option D) age of either or both parents.

<span> Embryonic stem cell research is kind of a dead area now since there is no way to control the differentiation. Most research is being done on adult stem cells to help map and control the differentiation process.

Stem-cells from aborted fetuses - The government doesn't sponsor this, if it is done it is by private companies not located in the USA. You could try researching umbilical cord stem cells to be somewhere near your topic. They come from the afterbirth of normal deliveries.

You could do a much easier report by covering cloning of mice through stem-cell technology. It is happening and helping scientists understand diseases. </span>
