Question

Which is NOT an advantage of the dikaryotic stage in fungi?

	A.	it generate genetic variation
	B.	it increases the chances of the fungi of surviving and reproducing
	C.	it allows the fungi to complete reproduction when conditions are appropriate

Definition Definition Genetic variation refers to the differences in DNA sequence among individuals of the same species. These variations can occur due to mutations, genetic recombination, and natural selection. Genetic variation plays an important role in evolution, as it allows for the selection of traits that enhance the survival and reproduction of organisms in changing environments.
