Which best illustrates the result of the process of meiosis? a. a pea plant has the same flower color as its parent plants. b. a daughter looks different from both her mother and her father c. a cheetah cub has very similar fur to its mother. d. a labrador puppy looks exactly like its father.

the correct answer is: b. pantala flavescens, because these organisms would have a high level of genetic variation due to sexual reproduction.  

because involves two organisms (parents) whose genetic material combines, sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in new generations of offspring. the offspring is an unique organism, with new genome, more protected with the higher ability to adapted. this process is fundamental to evolution.
