Genetic variation leads to genetic diversity in populations and is the raw material for evolution. Biological systems have multi

ple processes, such as reproduction, that affect genetic variation. They are evolutionarily conserved and shared by various organisms.
Which statement best represents the connection between reproduction and evolution?
A) Plants that use sexual reproduction are rare since this type of reproduction in plants does not contribute to genetic diversity.
B) In order to increase genetic diversity for evolution in sexually reproducing organisms, mutations must occur in the zygote after fertilization.
C) Since prokaryotic organisms reproduce asexually, there is no mechanism for them to add genetic diversity for evolution.
D) Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation because random mutations can be shuffled between organisms.

Answer:

D) Sexual reproduction increases genetic variation because random mutations can be shuffled between organisms.

Explanation:

Sexual reproduction involves the combination of two gametes from two different parents one from the male parent and another from female parents. So as the two different gene combination occurs in sexual reproduction, therefore, it increases the genetic variation.  

Also, the random mutation that occurs in the DNA can be shuffled between organisms during the fertilization event of reproduction. This increases the genetic variation because new alleles and genes get added to the gene pool. So good mutation is selected naturally and through reproduction, it passes to a new generation. So the right answer is D.

How do trees act as carbon sinks?
Romashka [77]


The best answer is D.

A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon than it produces or releases.

The main carbon sinks found in nature are plants, the ocean and soil.  Plants such as trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis. Part of this carbon is transferred to soil as the trees and other plants die and decompose.

Due to the effectiveness of trees and other plants as carbon sinks,  the Kyoto protocol proposed that emission reduction can be achieved through absorption of carbon dioxide by these plants.

What is an example of cell theory and also a non example
Lisa [10]
Viruses are at the heart of this century-old debate. Viruses<span> are parasites that infect plants, animals, fungi and bacteria. They consist of genetic material surrounded by a protein coat and are unable to grow or reproduce without a host. The classification of viruses has confused scientists for nearly 100 years. Originally they were viewed as poisons. In fact, the word ''virus'' is Latin for ''poison.'' They have since been viewed as living creatures, then mere bio-chemical compounds, and, most recently, somewhere in between chemical compounds and lifeforms.</span>Non-cellular life<span> refers to organisms, such as viruses, that exist without any cells, and it is a very controversial topic. The cell theory, which is one of the fundamental tenets of biology, states that all living things are composed of cells and that cells are the basic units of life. So the idea that something can be considered alive without having cells is an issue that is up for debate.
