Many organisms can reproduce asexually through mitosis, while other organisms reproduce sexually, and their cells carry out meio
sis to form gametes. In a situation where an organism falls prey to many efficient predators, which of these processes would be most beneficial to a species? a) Meiosis: numerous daughter cells produced would increase the species' population.
b) Meiosis: genetic variation would reduce the species' survival.
c) Mitosis: numerous offspring would increase the odds that some of them would survive.
d) Mitosis: numerous genetic mutations would help some individuals of the species.
Meiosis would be most beneficial to a species in a situation where an organism falls prey to many efficient predators. Answer:a)<span>Meiosis: numerous daughter cells produced would increase the species' population. </span>The species needs to evolve quickly, and the best way to do that is to shuffle existing mutations through sexual reproduction.
Atoms of all elements—except for most atoms of hydrogen—have neutrons in their nucleus. Unlike protons and electrons, which are electrically charged, neutrons have no charge—they are electrically neutral
