The concept of natural selection is a mechanism of evolution where environmental pressures select for phenotypes that exist in populations based on genetic variation. Which process below would not contribute to the genetic variation in a population of mice?

The concept of natural selection is a mechanism of evolution where environmental pressures select for phenotypes that exist in populations based on genetic variation. Which process below would not contribute to the genetic variation in a population of mice?

A) mitotic growth

B) sexual reproduction

C) mutations resulting from errors in DNA synthesis

D) crossing over of homologous chromosomes during meiosis

The correct answer is - option A.

Explanation:

Mitotic growth does not affect the genetic variation as it takes place in somatic cell rather than sex cells that affects the genetic variation as it exhibit meiotic cells.

Sexual reproduction involves the crossing over during meiosis that will cause genetic variation in an individual. Crossing over is exchange of the part of the homologous chromosome during meiosis.

Thus, the correct answer is - option A.

hey bro i looked it up on google the structure of the eye-spot in euglena viridie, e. ehrenbergii, and phacus pyriyorme is not as franzé haa described it. the so-called “crystal body” and “lens bodies” were not found in any of the individuals of the species examined by me. as earlier observers have stated, the eye-spot consists simply of a mass of pigment granules arranged in a single layer, and probably embedded in a protoplasmic framework, but the latter could not be seen, and its presence was only inferred from the fact that the pigment granules must be held together in some way, thd the eye-spot as a whole is capable of expansion, and that the pigment granules can be separated from each other.

hope this   and an i get brainlsiest

answer: that would be cheating
