The concept of natural selection is a mechanism of evolution where environmental pressures select for phenotypes that exist in populations based on genetic variation. which process below would not contribute to the genetic variation in a population of mice?
a) mitotic growth
b) sexual reproduction
c) mutations resulting from errors in dna synthesis
d) crossing over of homologous chromosomes during meiosis

Hey!

The correct answer is actually A) mitotic growth

I have a screenshot attached.

By the way, thanks for the correct answer @izaiah72!

Good luck guys! :)

Mitotic growth

Explanation:

Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells, which should have no new diversity as a result. Meiosis (including crossing over), sexual reproduction (including fertilization), and mutations (from changes to the DNA) all contribute to genetic diversity and new phenotypes.
