Answer:

C. The offspring are genetically distinct from the parents because they are produced by sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Producing gametes like egg and sperm is a characteristic feature of organisms who reproduce sexually. Sexual reproduction is much more advantageous than asexual reproduction because in sexual reproduction variations are generated due to a phenomenon known as crossing over. Crossing over is the reason why progeny are not exact replica of their parents and have variations. Variations are very important because if all the members of a particular species are exactly the same then during sudden climate change they all may be wiped -off because they all being exactly the same have same tolerance power. But if members of a population have variations then some of them may have ability to withstand extreme climatic conditions and even if suddenly climate changes or a natural calamity occurs then at least some of the members of that species will survive and will be able to continue their generations.

What type of laxative would be the first choice for a client diagnosed with hemorrhoids experiencing intense pain when straining
irina [24]
<span>Having constipation while also having hemorrhoids is a nightmare. You already face inability passing out poop, yet you still have to brace for intense pain as you strain to get it out. It is close enough to death by a thousand strains. In those cases, doctors prescribe stool softeners so the patient can pass out stools faster and experience lesser pain. Doctors have lots of laxatives to choose from. The most common one prescribed for hemorrhoids-related constipation is lactulose. Lactulose is composed of undigestible sugars that swell once it travels down the large intestine, adding bulk to the stool. It is preferred because it does not alter function of the intestines.</span>
