Select 3 process that can increase the variation of a species: budding, selective breeding, genetic engineering, cloning, mutations, or fission
1. Mutations: Random changes in genetic material (DNA) can increase the variation of a species. Mutations can be caused by various factors such as radiation, chemicals, or errors during DNA replication.
2. Selective breeding: This involves selecting and breeding organisms with desirable traits to produce offspring with better characteristics. This process can lead to a variety of breeds or strains of a species with distinct physical and behavioral traits.
3. Genetic engineering: This involves manipulating the genetic material of an organism to introduce desired traits. This can lead to the creation of new variations of a species with specific characteristics or traits.
