Open in App
Solution
The correct option is D Cloning
- Meiosis results in crossing over between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes leading to recombination and hence, variations.
- Mutation are random, non-directional changes responsible for mutations as described by Hugo de Vries.
- Cloning is the creation of an organism that is an exact genetic copy of another. Since there are no variations involved in the process, it cannot lead to speciation.
So, the correct option is 'Cloning'.
