Can someone please help me?? Which type of reproduction is responsible for genetic variation?

The type of reproduction is responsible for genetic variation is - sexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction is combining genetic information from two individuals,  by the fusion of gametes such as sperm and egg, called fertilization which generates more genetic variation, by the process like the combination of alleles and crossing over.

Thus, the correct answer that is responsible for genetic variation is - sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction results in infinite possibilities of genetic variation. In other words, sexual reproduction results in offspring that are genetically unique. They differ from both parents and also from each other.

Other reproductions like asexual, budding or fragmentation don't produce genetic variation.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
