Which of the following is not a source of genetic variation?
a. mutations
b. sexual reproduction
c. lateral gene transfer
d. asexual reproduction

the one that is not a source of genetic variation is : D. Asexual reproduction In asexual reproduction, there is no fertilization process between male and female gender. Which mean the offspring that came from asexual reproduction would be exactly the same as its parent, without any chance of genetic variation

Genetic variations are the differences between individuals in a population, the most obvious types of genetic variation are: mutation, sexual reproduction and lateral gene transfer. These all involves genes mixing or changing. Therefore (d)asexual reproduction is not a source of genetic variation; this type of gene transfer is directly moving the genes of a parent to the offspring, therefore keeping the exact same gene pattern.

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
