Answer: Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.
New Zealand mud snails reproduce through asexual and sexual modes of reproduction. Asexual reproduction allows these organisms to reproduce more number of offsprings. Asexual reproduction advantageous as these organisms faces natural disaster conditions like tide, drought results in the decrease in the population. Therefore, does not get mate to undergo sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction in these snails results in genetic variation in offsprings. Sexual reproduction results in increase in mutation rate in the genetic material being passed to offsprings because of resorting of genetic material being distributed from parent to offspring. This will result in genetic variations. Hence, parent will be different from offsprings. In asexual reproduction offsprings are the clones of parents as there is no resorting of genetic material takes place.
Option A. is correct.

Water helps keep cells in an even temperature despite temperature changes in the environment because water has a high heat capacity. Water can absorb a lot of heat before there’s a change in the temperature.

Because water is not alive
Answer:
The geologic time scale (GTS) is a system of chronological dating that relates geological strata (stratigraphy) to time. It is used by geologists, paleontologists, and other Earth scientists to describe the timing and relationships of events that have occurred during Earth's history.
