Variations during mutations of meiotic recombination are:
a. random and directionless
b. random and directional
c. small and directional
d. random, small and directional
The answer is the option (a)
Explanation: In 1901, Hugo de Vries introduced the mutation theory of development. This theory states that development involves sudden changes, leading to new variations and varieties in species. Mutations interrupt normal variation and are influenced by the availability of raw materials for development. They occur unpredictably and can manifest in various ways, with the variations from meiotic recombinations being random and directionless.
