actually the answer would be A.


Because when u reproduce asexually u only have one set of chromosome which in this case is mutated and u are reproducing with mutated genes. However when u reproduce sexually u have t pairs of chromosomes, one from mom and from from dad, so if one is mutated u have the back up from the other parent. so the most significant impact would be asexually which u do not have any back up genes :)Which of the following cases would a mutation have the most significant impact on the genetic diversity of...?
