A) <u>Mutation</u> is the original source of variations for plants and other organisms  which develops differences among their respective species

Explanation:

Genetic variation leads to the natural differences between each individual and among individuals of a species. The main cause for this variation is due to alleles that cause variations in the composition of genes or the DNA sequences.  

A mutation is a genetic variation which leads to the creation of a new allele in a species population. Each variation in the DNA sequence leads to an allele formation and each allele leads to a difference in character or trait between individuals since they are the alternate version of the original genes.  

Although genetic variations could be brought about by crossing over, random fertilization, or independent assortment; mutation is the original source because it provides the basic raw material for all the evolutionary changes.

Anestetic [448]
Crossing two true breeding parents with opposite parents is the key:

Assume W is straight wing and w is curly.
Then you are crossing WW with ww
This will result in ALL Ww as offspring - so all straight offspring

If you then cross Ww x Ww you end up with a mix of 
WW (1), Ww (2) and ww (1) - so a mix of straight and curly

Answer: 
P generation has straight wings and curly wings
F1 has all straight wings
