The processes of _,_generate variation and_produce adaption to the environment.
Correct answer: D. Mutation, sexual recombination, natural selection
- A. Sexual selection, natural selection, mutation
- B. Mutation, sexual recombination, genetic drift
- C. Genetic drift, mutation, sexual recombination
- D. Mutation, sexual recombination, natural selection
Explanation
Mutation generates new genetic variations. Sexual recombination leads to further genetic diversity and the combination of different traits from parents. Natural selection is the primary process responsible for the adaptation of populations to their environment by favoring advantageous traits. This statement is correct, and the order of processes is also accurate, making it the correct option.

About Inheritance
Mendel's laws explain segregation, independent assortment and the prediction of genetic ratios using alleles, genotypes and phenotypes. The chapter also covers linked genes, recombination and crossing over during meiosis, then applies pedigree reasoning to X-linked recessive traits, which show different inheritance patterns in males and females.
