When species has high genetic variation, the population of that species has a wide variety of genetic traits, such as eye color and nose shape. Do you think one reproductive process promotes higher genetic variation than the other?

Answer: Yes, genetic variation is higher in offspring generated through process 2. Process 1 produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent. So, the same characteristics pass from generation to generation. In process 2, the offspring inherits traits from both parents, so a wider variety of characteristics passes from generation to generation.
