genetic mutation selective breeding genome duplicating sexual recombination
I am hesitating between 4 options to answer the following question, which option should I choose?
Question: Morning glories are plants that have a large amount of variation in the genes for flower color. When a white flower appears in a population independent of the trait for white flower color, what is the most likely source?
Possibilities:
- genetic mutation
- selective breeding
- genome duplicating
- sexual recombination
