Which one of the following generates new genetic combinations leading to variation ?

A

Vegetative reproduction

B

Parthenogenesis

C

Sexual reproduction

D

Nucellar polyembryony

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
The sexual reproduction brings about variation through genetic recombiN/Ations. First of all, genetic recombiN/Ation occurs in non-homologous chromosomes during crossing over of pachytene stage in meiotic cell division.
Secondly, the random union of gametes also contributes in forming new combiN/Ations of characters. Other options a, b and d do not contribute in the formatioinfo progenies with new variations.
