There are tests which can establish a baby's genetic endowment.
Sexual reproduction serves to create genetic variety.

Again, in this application the theory simplifies because of lack of a paternal genetic effect on the fruits (tomatoes are almost purely maternal tissue).
Two contrasting dispersal models, one purely diffusive and one stratified, were then chosen to simulate colonization for the two contrasting initial genetic structures.
Probably, in species with a worldwide distribution, genetic changes may occur as populations adapt to new regions.
