Do you think one reproductive process promotes higher genetic variation than the other?

Sexual reproduction produces far more genetic variation than asexual reproduction. I’m asexual reproduction, only one organism is needed. In this process they copy their own DNA and create an exact copy of themselves. So, if you think about it, all the offspring ever created by that one organism is going to have the same genetics as it. They’re all going to be identical. There is no variation, or differences, between any of the offspring and the original organism. Bacteria reproduces this way, although through binary fission, they can sort of reproduce sexually.
Sexual reproduction results in genetic variation. Two organisms are needed to create offspring. An egg cell and a sperm cell are needed from a female and male organism to create the new organism. Since two organisms are required, their offspring will be a mix of their DNA. This will create variation between offspring. Every new organism will have different genetics.
This is why more advanced organisms like plants and animals have different DNA even if they are the same species.

When conducting a population sampling study, on the first capture attempt, we _______ the captured individuals.
deff fn [24]

When conducting a population sampling study, on the first capture attempt, we tag, count, and release the captured individuals. Thus, option "D" is correct.

<h3>What is the mark-recapture method?</h3>

This is a method commonly used in ecology to estimate the animals in the population. A portion of the population is captured, marked and released. Another part of the population will, later on, be captured. This can be used to estimate the population in an assumption that the portion that was captured is proportional to the entire population. This is obtained by dividing the number of marked individuals by the individual marked on the second capture. This is one of the simplest and most practical methods of estimating the population.

Thus, option "D" is correct.

Answer:

3.14g (3.s.f.)

Explanation:

change in mass = 0.25

mass at start = 7.96

percentage change in mass = 0.25/7.96 × 100

= 3.14g (3.s.f.)

When platelets attach to collagen threads in an injured vessel the platelets swell, form extensions and then stick together. as
Brrunno [24]
Answer is: platelet plug
 
When platelets stick to each other and to the blood vessel they form a plug in the hole of the vessel. This process is called platelet aggregation.

Before the plug forms,  a platelet will stick to the blood vessel (adhesion), change its shape and signal other platelets to come help (activation and secretion). Then they stick to each other (aggregation).
