This post will go through genotype variations and mutations for QCE Biology.
4.1.4 – Mutations
- Describe how inherited mutations can alter the variations in the genotype of offspring.
The Relationship Between Variation and Mutations
Note that genetic variation can be introduced via various ways such as during meiosis through independent assortment or by random variation. Mutations can also lead to genetic variation but they are special because only way new alleles are introduced into the gene pool of a population.
