A population of organisms that reproduce asexually without gametes from other individuals will display more variation than a population that reproduces sexually.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A population that reproduces sexually will have more genetic variation because the offspring inherit traits from both parents, which can lead to new combinations of genes. In asexual reproduction, the offspring are genetically identical to the parent, so there is no potential for genetic variation to arise from mixing of genes from multiple individuals.
