In terms of adaptation, what advantage does sexual reproduction provide for species

KengaRu [80]

Unlike other ways of reproduction, sexual reproduction provides variation through inheriting various genes. This variation is essential for adaptation as it would not just create a copy of the original life form, but rather a different unique life form that could adapt to something, and then have it's own offspring with the adapted trait.

In humans, the quadriceps muscle is a skeletal leg muscle under voluntary control. As such, it contracts in response to signals

Masja [62]

Answer:

The correct answer is - operation of reflex arc.

Explanation:

The reflex arc is a unique and special type of neural pathway that starts with a sensory neuron and ends with a motor neuron. In this operation sensory neuron acts as the receptor and motor neuron is effector. This type of neural circuit helps in faster response.

Voluntary muscles like quadriceps muscle are normally in control voluntarily however, such muscle may contract involuntary due to reflex arc. This type of contraction takes place before the signal has even reached the brain.

In this response the sensory neuron takes the signal to the spinal cord and then motor neuron to the effector muscle for faster response.

Thus, the correct answer is - operation of reflex arc.
