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.

Does mitosis ever stop in cells? explain your answer
BigorU [14]
Mitosis occurs after interphase (which is the phase that takes the longest) and is occurring all the time in your cells. Sometimes a cell will not go into a state of mitosis if an error is found during the interphase process (if it does, it's cancerous) . Some cells don't go through the process of mitosis, like neurons. But once a cell passes interphase without any errors, it will go into mitosis then cytokinesis. The process takes about one day and occurs when your body is repairing itself or if you're growing and developing. So yes, it happens all the time, just not in every single cell; just in most cells.
