Answer:

Your answer is B) Mutations lead to genetic variation.

Think of it like this, when rays were first starting to develop, they probably started with only one kind, stingless. Somewhere down the line, the genes of the rays started to mutate and eventually, there were stingrays and stingless rays. Now at this point there are predators that frequently feast upon the rays, so which of the two rays are more likely to defend themselves, and get away to live long enough to reproduce and pass on their genes? The stingrays! The mutation that may have occurred millions of years ago, has determined which organisms were more fit for a changing environment.

Savatey [412]

<u>Answer</u>:

"It increases the mutation rate"  is an advantage of  sexual reproduction

<u>Explanation</u>:

The basic thing of evolution is fundamental, as it helps in generation of genetic variation on which the selection can act. Sexual reproduction leads to genetic diversity, and this genetic diversity leads to increase the mutation rate. Genetic diversity occurs because of two various cells which are combining together and biological assortment which happens at the time of cell division. Neutral genetic diversity in the population leads to high mutation rate.
