Cell Division and Genetic Variation Quiz

The precision of DNA-copying mechanisms makes the generation of variation a fairly slow process.

DNA copying errors are a source of variations in populations of organisms. These errors result in variations that can be useful for ensuring the survival of the species.

Combining variations from two or more individuals creates new combinations of variants, each of which would be novel since it involves two different individuals.

<p>The accumulation of variations from previous generations in DNA copies leads to different patterns of accumulated variations in different individuals in a population.</p> Signup and view all the answers
