The answers that apply are;

  1. reproduction of the organism
  2. growth of the organism
  3. repair of damaged or dead cells
  4. reproduction of new cells

In the reproduction of the organism, mitosis is required in the generation of daughter cells in sexual reproduction.

In the growth of an organism, mitosis is key in the process of a cell replicating its genetic material and itself.

When a cell has been damaged, it is eliminated through apoptosis and digestion after which new cells divide by mitosis to replace the damaged cell.

Mitosis is also required in the reproduction of new cells from existing ones.

A population of lizards lives in a rocky area next to a desert. Some lizards are light colored and blend into the sand. Others a
hjlf

Answer:

c. They may evolve into two separate species as a result of disruptive selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection wherein some extreme change in the surroundings favor two distinct phenotypes while trimming off the mean. Here, the environmental conditions favor more than one phenotype. In the given example, disruptive selection would favor the light-colored lizards in the sandy region while the dark-colored would be favored in rocky regions due to their respective survival success.

With time, these two populations would accumulate more variations and reproductive isolation would not allow them to interbreed and thereby two distinct species of lizards would evolve.
