A population of organisms that reproduce asexually will display more variation than a population that reproduces sexually.

Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)


False

Populations of asexually reproducing individuals will have less variation than sexually reproducing individuals. This is because meiosis (sexual reproduction) produces many gametes, all genetically unique, as compared to mitosis or binary fission (asexual reproduction) which produces genetic clones of the parent cell.
