Sort the descriptions based on whether they are related to asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction

Biology
1 answer:
miss Akunina [59]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Sexual Reproduction:

  1. Creates genetically unique offspring.
  2. Organism needs time to  reach adulthood and to reproduce.
  3. Requires the contribution of two parents.

Asexual Reproduction:

  1. Creates genetically identical offspring.
  2. Organism doesn't have to waste energy to find a mate.
  3. Requires the contribution of a single parent.

Explanation:

Sexual Reproduction:

  • Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of a male and female gamete. A gamete is a haploid cell that contains half of the chromosomes as in the parent cell. This process is called fertilization and it results in the formation of a zygote, a diploid cell that develops into an embryo and ultimately an individual.
  • Sexual reproduction involves two parents, each of which contributes one set of chromosomes (23) to the offspring.

Asexual Reproduction:

  • Asexual reproduction produces an exact copy of one single parent. Offspring produced through asexual reproduction do not possess genetic variation.
  • Asexual reproduction occurs through four processes:
  1. Binary fission
  2. Fragmentation
  3. Budding
  4. Parthenogenesis

Ling feeds her guppies one-half teaspoon of fish food every day. The average guppy population in her aquarium over a four-month
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

B. Food was a limiting factor.

C. As long as Ling keeps adding more food, the guppy population will continue to grow

Explanation:

Limiting factor refers to biotic or abiotic factors that limit or affects the growth of species. In the population of guppies, food was a limiting factor that affects their population growth. Indeed!, it is vivid from the experiment that after Ling increases the amount of food being given to the guppies, there is a significant increase in the population growth.

We can thereby conclude that  the following statements that supported these data goes thus;

Food was a limiting factor and as long as Ling keeps adding more food, the guppy population will continue to grow.

What is mutation? How does it contribute to adaptation or evolution?
alexgriva [62]
A mutation is a new element added to the genetic buildup of an organism. this leads to new abilities that makes that organism adapt to different things, this is passed down through the organisms descendants which will help them get through situations other organisms can't, thus helping the entire species evolve.
