Genetic variation is increased by meiosis. During fertilisation, 1 gamete from each parent combines to form a zygote. Because of recombination and independent assortment in meiosis, each gamete contains a different set of DNA. This produces a unique combination of genes in the resulting zygote

Crossing Over. During prophase of meiosis I, the double-chromatid homologous pairs of chromosomes cross over with each other and often exchange chromosome segments. This recombination creates genetic diversity by allowing genes from each parent to intermix, resulting in chromosomes with a different genetic complement.

JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The variation might occur in the population that leads to the evolution of the species. This variation may occur due to natural selection, mutation or recombination.

The variation might change the genotype and allelic frequency of the population and might also change the phenotype of the individual in the population. The breeding adults of the left mouthed in 1981, 1987 and 1990 shows variation and was equally opposite phenotype which is more common in the population.

MaRussiya [10]

The false statement is: Growth hormone is produced by the posterior pituitary

Growth hormone (GH) or somatotropin is produced in the cells called somatotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland. GH is a peptide hormone that stimulates growth, cell reproduction, and cell regeneration. Its function is involved in metabolic processes (favors anabolism or synthesis of macromolecules). Also, growth hormone stimulates production of IGF-1 and increases the levels of glucose and free fatty acids.
