Can we find variations in an asexually reproducing organism like bacteria? Write yes or no and give a reason in support of your answer.

(A) Yes. Although bacteria reproduce asexually,meaning a single parent gives rise to new organisms,the process of $DNA$ copying is not perfectly accurate. During $DNA$ replication,minor errors or mutations can occur. These small changes in the genetic material lead to variations in the offspring. Therefore,even in asexually reproducing organisms like bacteria,variations can occur.
