Based on your prior knowledge, make a claim about the factors that cause inherited genetic variations within populations. also make a claim about the effects of mutations. write your claim in your notebook.

Answer AND Explanation:

FACTORS THAT CAUSE GENETIC VARIATIONS

Genetic variation is caused by:

mutation

random mating between organisms

random fertilization

crossing over (or recombination) between chromatids of homologous chromosomes during meiosis

Explanation:

b - the respond is innate and varies over time.

good luck!

c. earths continental crust is thicker than its lithosphere.

because, the lithosphere is the outermost layer of the earth/ 100 km thick and is defined by its machanical properties.the lithosphere contains oceanic and continental crust that varies in age and thickness across locations and geologic time. the lithosphere is the coolest layer of the earth in terms of temperature. the term lithosphere should not be confused with the use of "geosphere" which is used to indicate all of earth systems, including the atmosphere, hydrosphere   and biosphere. the surface of the earth can be divided into the continental crust and the oceanic crust.   the continental crust is made mostly of granite while the oceanic crust is made of basalt. the average thickness of the continental crust is 25 miles and the average thickness of the oceanic crust is 5 miles.   three types of rock, igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic, make up the surface of the earth. that's why 3 option is preferable.
