Answer:

The Option A is correct i.e.

Sexual organisms increases genetic diversity for changing environments

Explanation:

Reproduction is the biological process by which new organisms are produced from their parents.  

In asexual reproduction, an organism can reproduce without the involvement of another organism. By asexual reproduction, an organism creates a genetically similar or identical copy of itself.  

Sexual reproduction typically requires the sexual interaction of two specialized organisms, called gametes, which contain half the number of chromosomes of normal cells and are created by meiosis, with typically a male fertilizing a female of the same species to create a fertilized zygote. This produces offspring organisms whose genetic characteristics are derived from those of the two parental organisms.

The diversity in genetics makes it possible for the offspring to cope with changing environmental conditions. Because, the offspring are diverse in constitution, some offspring will always be able to survive harsh environmental conditions due to their genetic make up.

Answer:

The correct option is A.

Explanation:

There are two basic types of reproduction, they are asexual and sexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction involves the division of a mature organism into two different organisms through binary fission or other forms of asexual reproduction. In this case the offspring is similar both physically and genetically to the parent organism. There is no genetic diversity in this case and the same disease can easily wipe out the entire population of the organism.

Sexual reproduction on the other hand requires two different organisms. During the reproductive process the genetic materials from the two organisms get mixed up thoroughly, so they end up giving birth to offspring that are quite different from them genetically.

The diversity in genetics makes it possible for the offspring to cope with changing environmental conditions. Because, the offspring are diverse in constitution, some offspring will always be able to survive harsh environmental conditions due to their genetic make up.

Predict the fur color of the offspring of a brown heterozygous rabbit and a white homozygous rabbit. Brown is dominant and white
fgiga [73]

Answer:

To predict the results of the offspring from a cross between brown heterozygous rabbit and a white homozygous rabbit, a punnet square can be drawn as follows:

        b        b

B   Bb         Bb

b   bb         bb

The results from the punnet square show that there is 2:2 ratio that the offspring will be brown coloured or white coloured. The genotype of the rabbits will either be heterozygous brown i.e Bb or homozygous white bb.

there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be brown rabbit and there is also a 50% chance that the offspring can be a white rabbit.

Your first cousin died of tay-sachs disease (autosomal recessive, incidence 0.09%). you are not affected, nor is anyone else in
AlexFokin [52]
<span>25%

   Starting from my First cousin family, I know for sure that the Uncle is is a carrier (Aa) and he must have married a wife who is also a carrier (Aa) and that is how they got an affected son. Thus, this leads to the fact that either both of my grandparents are carriers (Aa x Aa) or only one of them is a carrier (Aa x AA). As a result, the chances that my mom (who is related to the uncle who has a defected child) is a carrier is either (2/3 or 1/2) depending if my grandparents genotype, respectively. Thus, if my mom chances of being a carrier is 1/2 then my chance of being a carrier is 1/4. (given that my dad is not a carrier b/c CF is a rare disease) However, if my mom chance of being a carrier is 2/3 then my chance of being a carrier is (2/3)x(1/2)=(1/3) As a result, I could either be 1/4 or 1/3. But since the answer only provide the choice of 1/4 and not 1/3. This leave 25% is the correct answer.</span>

Allisa [31]

Kelly, who is blind, switches on the fan in her room without anyone's help. she is able to do this because the Somatic nervous system relays the relevant information to her brain.

<h3>Nervous system :</h3>

According to the classical doctrine of the nervous system, an animal's nervous system is a highly sophisticated component that coordinates its movements and sensory data by sending and receiving signals to and from various regions of its body.

<h3>Somatic nervous system :</h3>

The somatic nervous system, also known as the voluntary nervous system, is the area of the peripheral nervous system responsible for the voluntary control of skeletal muscle movement.

A part of the peripheral nervous system called the somatic nervous system is responsible for the voluntary control of skeletal muscle movement.

<h3>Example somatic nervous system</h3>

The cranial nerves, which transmit information from the brain to the head and neck region, are an illustration of the somatic nervous system. In this area, conscious motor functions are under the control of the somatic nervous system.
