Hi!
The major source of new alleles in the natural population is Mutation.
We learned in our biotechnology class that mutation creates new DNA as the primary source of evolution. Which means. when mutation creates a new sequence of DNA for a certain gene, new alleles are being produced.
Answer: A) Can be searched quickly for the most relevant observations.
Asexual Reproduction characteristics
1. Offspring are genetically and morphologically similar to each other and the parents and are some time referred to as clones
2. Asexual reproduction is a characteristics reproduction process in simpler organisms.
3. Diploid cells are formed
Sexual Reproduction Characteristics
1. Haploid cells are formed
2. involves both meiosis and mitosis
3. Multiplication is slow in asexual reproduction as compared to the sexual reproduction
Characteristics common in both sexual mode of reproduction-
- Gametes are formed
- fertilization takes place
- Off springs carry genes and genetic information from their parents.
