Answer:

In humans, genetic variations are caused because humans reproduce by a sexual life cycle which is termed as meiosis. In such a life cycle, the offspring receives half the chromosomes from the mother and half from the father. Crossing over and random assortment of chromosomes are two phenomenons which occur during meiosis. Due to these two phenomenons, genetic variations are caused.

During crossing over, the exchange of DNA segments between the homologous chromosomes takes place which brings about the genetic variations.

Answer:

Transcriptomics.

Explanation:

Transcriptomics may be defined as the field of biology that mainly deals with the study and collection of the mRNA molecules. Various techniques like DNA microarray and exon shuffling is used in transcriptomics.

Messenger RNA molecule are collected from the source that are produced by the cells. Transcriptomics helps the scientist to determine the similarities and differences in the gene expression pattern between the different cells.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
