The statement that indicates that breeders will induce mutations in organisms to increase genetic variation in the population of that organism is true.

Explanation:

Induced mutations can be produced by the introduction of chemical or physical agents that can alter DNA and produce genetic variation. This, when controlled, can produce physical or functional changes in a manipulated population.  

Mutation induction is a technique used by breeders to increase the genetic variation of a population of plants, for example, and make their characteristics improve, such as their resistance or productivity.
