Question
random fertilization increases genetic variation by:
ensuring only the strongest sperm fertilize the egg
allowing any sperm to fertilize any egg
changing the dna of gametes
preventing nondisjunction
Random fertilization means any genetically unique sperm can fuse with any genetically unique egg, which creates new combinations of genetic material, increasing variation. The other options are incorrect: random fertilization does not select for "strongest" sperm, does not alter gamete DNA, and does not prevent nondisjunction.
