Consider the figure below, which shows genetic variation generated by asexually and sexually reproducing populations. Genotypes are represented as chromosomes (lines) with beneficial (light green circles) and/or deleterious (dark red circles with navy borders) alleles on them. The genotypes of the asexually reproducing initial population are circled in the middle. The genotypes under that circle were produced when the initial population switched to reproducing sexually. deleterious beneficial H asexual sexual B sex fitness Based on this figure, which two of the following statements are true? Select 2 correct answer(s) After sexual reproduction, previously linked beneficial and deleterious alleles can be broken apart. Sexually reproduced offspring have greater genetic variation than the asexual population. Sexually reproduced offspring have less variation in fitness than the asexual population. Genotypes with the highest fitness are shown on the far left.
