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.

A small number of finches live in a protected bird sanctuary. Natural selection

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Natural selection is least likely to occur in this population if:

The resources are continuously available

For a species to survive in an area, it is essential that the place has enough resources like nutrients, space, water etc. If these resources are available then there will be less chances of competition which will lead to lesser chances of natural selection.

The number of of death rates is equal to the number of of birth rates

In an balanced ecosystem, the number of birth rates is equal to the number of death rates for a population. If the number of death rates is lesser to the number of birth rates then the competition for resources will lead to natural selection.

A study of <u>those newborn babies</u>

Explanation:

Studying the infants from these pregnant women lead the researchers to find out that this drug interfered with the process of limb formation if the pregnant woman had taken this drug anytime during the 26 days critical for limb formation and development. In this way, it makes for an instance where nurture had disrupted nature.

2. Why is this change in global temperature a concern

12345 [234]

Past climate changes led to extinction of many species, population migrations, and pronounced changes in the land surface and ocean circulation. The speed of the current climate change is faster than most of the past events, making it more difficult for human societies and the natural world to adapt.
