Definitions:

Genetic Variation

Genetic variation is the diversity in gene frequencies, resulting from mutations, genetic recombination, and other sources, providing the material for evolution and adaptation in populations.

Asexual Reproduction

A mode of reproduction that does not involve the fusion of gametes, leading to offspring genetically identical to the parent.

Genetically Identical Offspring

Offspring that share the same genetic material, typically as a result of asexual reproduction.

Genetic Recombination

The process by which pieces of DNA are broken and recombined to produce new combinations of alleles, contributing to genetic diversity.
