Answer 1

The statement 'diversity in living organism occur due to genetic variation' is true.

• As a result of meiosis, independent assortment and crossing over takes place which causes shuffling of the genes. As a result, genetic variation exists among organisms.
• The genetic diversity or variation causes natural selection to occur as a result of which organisms better able to adapt survive  on their characteristics to their offspring.
• Hence, genetic variation is the leading cause of diversity in living organisms.
