Answer:

Proxima Centuri is 9 orders of magnitude further from New York compared to Perth

Explanation:

Distance of Proxima Centuri to New York = 4 × 10^16 meters

Distance of Proxima Centuri to Perth = 11000 miles

Since 1 mile = 1609 meters, distance to Perth in meters = 11000 × 1609

Distance to Perth = 17699000 = 1.7699 × 10^7 meters

Order of magnitude of the distances of Proxima Centuri to New York and Perth = 10^16/10^7

Order of magnitude = 10^9

Therefore, Proxima Centuri is 9 orders of magnitude further from New York compared to Perth.

Some plants can reproduce both sexually and asexually. Explain one benefit of this dual reproduction capability.
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

An additional advantage of asexual reproduction is that colonization of new habitats may be easier when an individual does not need to find a mate to reproduce. During sexual reproduction the genetic material of two individuals is combined to produce genetically diverse offspring that differ from their parents.

Explanation:

An organism has many benefits for having the ability to reproduce both sexually and asexually. The first of these benefits is that it doesn't have to find a mate in order to reproduce, so it can create offspring by itself, and enable the continuation of its' species.

If you need more help on this subject, don't be afraid to ask me. I'm willing to help.
