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.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The correct answer is - C. Plants.

Explanation:

As we know and also given that the pond is usually smaller and shallower than a lake. Due to this reason, ponds have plants growing on the bottom of them from one side to the other as they get enough light as there is only the photic zone in ponds.

In lakes, there are various zones present and the lakes are deep and big to the ponds and the bottom of the lakes did not get sunlight. Plants require sunlight to grow and lakes are usually too deep to get the sunlight for plants to grow on the bottom.
