Organisms that reproduce sexually have greater genetic and thus characteristic variations, and so, are able to withstand more selection pressures if they so happen to change or become greater. This increases the chances of survival for that species itself.
Organisms that reproduce asexually are genetically identical to each other. They are unlikely to withstand any changes in selection pressures.

Answer:
a. Centromere
A centromere is a specialised DNA sequence of a chromosome that links pair of sister chromarids (a dyad)
Answer:
A) tortoiseshell female; black male
Explanation:
Females have two X chromosomes and males have an X and a Y chromosome.
<u>The possible genotypes and phenotypes are</u>:
- XᵒXᵒ: black female
- XᵒY: black male
- XᴼXᴼ: orange female
- XᴼY: orange male
- XᵒXᴼ: tortoiseshell female
<u>Cross of a black female and an orange male</u>
<h3>XᵒXᵒ x XᴼY</h3>
The female only produces Xᵒ gametes. The male produces Xᴼ and Y.
The possible offspring therefore is: XᵒXᴼ (tortoiseshell females) and XᵒY (black males). The answer is A.
In nature organisms mate without human interference.this is called selective breeding. hope this helps!
The Mother and Father each give half of the chromosomes to the offspring, which will decide traits and inheritance.
Hope this helps!
