Answer:
A mutation is a change that occurs in our DNA sequence, either due to mistakes when the DNA is copied or as the result of environmental factors such as UV light and cigarette smoke.
Gametes are reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote. Sexual reproduction needs zygotes to reproduce that is why gametes are needed. Asexual reproduction doesn’t need gametes because there is only one parent and there is no fusion of gametes.
Answer:
D. .................................
Answer:
It results in the production of new combinations of alleles due to which offspring can have different characters than both the parents.
In meiosis, the genes are randomly segregated and the alleles of genes are independently assorted to produce haploid gametes.
When the gametes of male and female fuses, they form the zygote with a unique or new combination of alleles as compared to that of parents.
It increases the genetic variations in the population.
