Question

Assertion (A): Differences in a population are created by genetic variations.

Reason (R): Driving factor for variation is the source of sexual reproduction and also asexual reproduction.

• A. A is true, R is false
• B. A is false, R is true
• C. A and R both are true
• D. A and R both are false

Answer 1

The correct option is A

A is true, R is false

Diversity in a population is a result of genetic variations. Sexual and asexual reproduction are the sources of variations but frequency of variations is much higher in sexual mode than in asexual mode. Asexual modes generally have the least chances of variations.
