Ck 12: Genetic Variation in Organisms

Curated by ACT

Genetic variation helps ensure the survival of a species. It is this variation that is the essence of evolution. Without genetic differences among individuals, "survival of the fittest" would not be likely. This activity discusses how sexual reproduction leads to genetic variation in offspring, defines crossing-over, and explains the importance of independent assortment and random fertilization.
