Under what circumstances may variation not occur in sexually produced individuals.
- When fertilization occurs between closely related individuals, the offspring produced may not show much variation.
- When crossing over does not occur during meiosis when the gametes are formed fusion of the gametes produces offspring identical to the parents.
- In hermaphrodism, only one parent is parent is involved and therefore there is not much variation
- Gametes may be produced by mitosis and self-fertilization may occur e.g. in ferns and mosses
