a point mutation only mutates and changes that particular spot in the DNA strand while a frameshift changes the whole strand by moving the bases either one forward or backward
The correct answer is (a.) True. The Large variation in a crop may be developed by employing asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction in which the offspring came from a single organism and may inherit only the parent's gene, not fusion of gametes.
If a cell that has three pairs of chromosomes, the fraction of the gametes produced from this cell will contain only maternal chromosomes would be 1/8.
In this case, the cells have three pairs of chromosomes. Then, the calculation to find the fraction would be: (1/2)^3= 1/8
