Single-Gene and Polygenic Traits
... Sources of Genetic Variation The three main sources of genetic variation are mutations, genetic recombination during sexual reproduction, and lateral gene transfer. A mutation is any change in a sequence of DNA. Most heritable differences are due to genetic recombination during sexual reproduction. ...
