Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from:

a. Transduction.

B. Conjugation.

C. Mutation.

D. Meiosis 3.

Answer:Meiosis

Explanation:

Genetic variation can be defined change in the the DNA sequence between the individuals within the same population.

The variation in the germ cell that is sperm and egg and also in the other cells of the body.

The genetic variation in bacterial population can take place during the time of transduction, mutation and conjugation.

Hence, the correct would be meiosis 3. In fact there is no biological process named as meiosis 3.

D. Meiosis 3

There is no such thing as meiosis 3, there only 1 and 2.

Bacteria don't undergo meiosis, instead they undergo binary fission.
