Answer:

D.)black smoke is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The mixture of mineral rich water reaches the sea water, the minerals rushing out gives the water the appearance of the black smoke due to the deposits of iron sulfide.

The mineral-rich water generates precipitation of the small particles of the iron sulfide minerals and manganese minerals.

These particles extremely fine-grained of sulfide minerals produced when a hot hydrothermal liquids get mixed with the near freezing sea-water.

The correct answer is option D

The mixture of mineral rich water reaches the sea water, the minerals rushing out gives the water the appearance of the black smoke.

The mineral rich water causes precipitation of the tiny particles of the iron rich sulfide minerals and manganese rich minerals.

This gives the black color to the smoke and it appears to be black.

Sexual reproduction produces genetically different offsprings which do possess variations, hence better chance to survive in the environment.

Option C

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Sexual reproduction is the process of reproduction where there's a fusion of gametes from a male and female of the same species, resulting in a zygote and eventually an offspring. Sexual reproduction is very advanced type of reproduction which is very expensive for an organism. Much of the energy of the organism is spent to produce gametes and other necessary processes for reproduction.

Gametes of the sexual reproduction is produced mainly by means of meiotic cell division. This involves crossing over and chaismata formation which helps in genetic variations in the offspring. These variations help the species to survive unknown changes in environment, and helps to adapt quickly lessening the chances of extinction. So sexual reproduction has modified various times in different groups of species.
