This a picture of a garden of flowers and plants. Within this garden the plants are not homogenous, they each have their own unique genetic make up. Independent and unique genes contributes to their phenotype and why they all look different. The DNA of these organisms account for the variation in the population. Although flowers reproduce asexually resulting in identical offspring, this population does not only consist of the parent and offspring- many other types are present.
+3/5 - beautiful garden! You explained variation in a population and how it occurs, however, I am not sure of your connection and the picture. You wrote " Although flowers reproduce asexually resulting in identical offspring, this population does not only consist of the parent and offspring- many other types are present." The types present in this case are different species and therefore a different population.
