The salamanders of the genus Ambystoma in northeastern North America are an entirely female population that reproduces asexually through the process of cloning. However, they have developed a way of inserting DNA from other species of salamanders into their own DNA. How has DNA from other salamander species helped these Ambystoma salamanders survive environmental changes over the past 6 million years? By making the DNA more similar across the population By creating many genetically identical individuals By decreasing the mutations that occur in the DNA By increasing genetic diversity in the population
