Answer:
1. Leads to mixing of genetic materials hence variation within species
2. Leads to offspring with hybrid viguor that tend to show high and adaptability to environmental conditions.
3. Variations due to sexual reproduction leads to improvement of species hence evolutionary changes that may bring about specialisation
The higher the GC content of a DNA, the higher the strength of the interchain interactions, and the higher the melting temperature.
DNA is Deoxyribonucleic Acid. It is the genetic material in maximum of the organisms. The DNA is a polymer made from nucleotides (sugar, nitrogenous bases and phosphate group). It is composed of two strands of phosphate and sugar backbone in an antiparallel direction. The nitrogenous bases present in DNA are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G) and Cytosine (C).
GC content refers to the total amount of Guanine and Cytosine present in the DNA. Since there exists a triple bond between G and C, more percentage of them provides strength to DNA. That is why high GC content denotes high melting temperature of DNA.

Correct answer: D). Algal cells have a cell wall made of chitin, while plant cell walls are made of cellulose.
Algae and plants are similar as both of them produce their own food by the process of photosynthesis. The main difference is found in their complexity.
The cell wall of the plants is made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin, and polysaccharides, while the cell wall of algae is made up of chitin, which is a polysaccharide derived from glucose.
There are three main stages to get from food molecules to ATP: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain.
