crossing over
crossing over

mutations caused by environmental factors

meiosis

Answer 1

The process that results in genetic variation in body cells is primarily associated with **mutations caused by environmental factors**. While crossing over and meiosis contribute to genetic variation in gametes (reproductive cells), mutations in body cells (somatic cells) can arise from environmental influences and lead to variations in those cells.

If the question specifically focuses on genetic variation in body (somatic) cells, the correct response would be:

**mutations caused by environmental factors**.
