How does biodiversity depend on a species' ability to reproduce

Biology

ladessa [460]3 years ago

Environments are constantly changing, so the organism must adapt. Sexual reproduction ensures genetic diversity in the progeny. If one or a few of the progeny have new traits that can help it survive in its changing environment, it is more likely to reach adulthood and reproduce.
If a species becomes isolated, or reproduces asexually it will not adapt to its environment, its traits will be exact copies of its parents and the species will eventually go extinct, that particular scenario only works in areas where the environment is stable and not subject to change.

Biodiversity needs the ability of a species to reproduce, because if a species cannot reproduce, there wouldn't be genetic diversity, in other words life cannot be produced

Of all the water on the earth, only about 3% is fresh water. 68% of all the freshwater is frozen as glaciers and is unavailable
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

The correct answer is statement A.

Explanation:

The procedure of purifying ocean water, that is, the saline water so that it can become suitable for drinking is termed as desalination. Almost 70 percent of the Earth is covered with water and of this only 3 percent is used for drinking purposes. On a huge scale, the process of desalination would require the boiling of water, which would eventually require an enormous amount of energy.  

Reverse osmosis and electro-dialysis are the methods used for desalination. However, these procedures are very costly and cannot be performed on a huge level as it can affect the economy of various countries.

What would happen to the skin cells if mitosis did not take place
Katena32 [7]
The cells would cease to function <span>after a relatively short amount of time (a few years at best, depending on the amount of cells that part normally has). A living being's body parts would also never grow. They would stay the same size since they were born. The only good result is that without mitosis, cancer wouldn't occur.</span>

Mutations are random spontaneous changes that occur suddenly in the DNA. A single mutation can have a large effect, however in may cases evolutionary changes are based on the accumulation of many mutations. The gene flow is any movement of genes from one generation to another and is an important source of mutation
