Question 3 (1 point) Bacteria populations display genetic variation such as antibiotic resistance due to
mutation. Which is the likely source of mutation?
A. Because bacteria reproduce sexually, their mutations would most likely arise from
errors in crossing over during meiosis.
B. Because bacteria reproduce asexually, their mutations would most likely be a
replication error and improper proofreading.
C. Because bacteria reproduce sexually, their mutations would most likely arise from
an environmental factor such as prolonged exposure to UV radiation.
D. Because bacteria reproduce asexually, their mutations would most likely arise
from an environmental factor such as prolonged exposure to extreme
temperatures.
