The organism that would have the most variation in the DNA of its offspring is the cat (Option C). Meiosis is a type of cell division that generates more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction.
Meiosis is a type of reductional cell division by which a parental cell produces 4 daughter cells (gametes), each containing half of the genetic material.
Animals (e.g., cats) generate gametes by meiosis which fuse during fertilization to produce new offspring.
Both amoeba and bacteria reproduce by a type of asexual reproduction called binary fission. Moreover, yeasts also reproduce asexually by a process called budding and fission.
Both asexual and sexual types of reproduction generate genetic variability by the emergence of new mutations in daughter cells.
Meiosis generates much more genetic variability than asexual types of reproduction due to two different processes:
- Random assortment of chromosomes, which produces new allele combinations.
- Recombination, i.e., by the exchange of genetic material (DNA) between non-sister chromatids during Prophase I.

Answer:
The least electronegative elements in the center of lewis structures because an atom in the central position shares more of its electrons than does a terminal atom. Atoms with higher electronegative are generally more reluctant to share their electrons.
Explanation:
