Question
Chapter 10, Problem 3FTB
Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank space in the statement, “three processes that promote genetic variability of offspring during sexual reproduction are ______, ______, and ______.”
Introduction:
The variation and difference in the organism in terms of its genotypic characters with respect to its environment is known as genetic variability. The changes occurred due to transformation on the basis of the genetic grounds of an individual provides better adaptability to survive for years.

True or False:
Asexual reproduction promotes greater variability among the offspring produced.
Answer:
In some organisms, asexual reproduction can occur from just a fragment of the parent organism, rather than the formation of reproductive cells.
Group of answer choices
True or false ?
Offspring formed due to sexual reproduction have better chances ofsurvival. Why? Is this statement always true?
