Answer:

For [a] .....Yes

For [b]......No

Explanation:

Meiosis is known to be a process of reducing the number of chromosomes in a diploid to half.

And it should be noted that , meiosis requires the pairing of two chromosomes sets.

Therefore in this case, before meiosis can occur in the haploid, it must involves two haploids. This means that two individual haploid will fuse together to form diploid meiocyte, which will allow meiosis to occur.

This is the reason why meiosis can only takes place on haploid species.

In summary, it should be noted that, meiosis can only takes place in a diploid and two individuals haploid [ haploid species] that can fuse together to form diploid, but not in a haploid individual.

What benefit does an organism gain by only using this method of reproduction?
alexdok [17]

Explanation:

In a stable or predictable environment, asexual reproduction is an effective means of reproduction because all the offspring will be adapted to that environment. In an unstable or unpredictable environment asexually-reproducing species may be at a disadvantage because all the offspring are genetically identical and may not have the genetic variation to survive in new or different conditions. On the other hand, the rapid rates of asexual reproduction may allow for a speedy response to environmental changes if individuals have mutations. 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.

How is force and energy related or different?
denis-greek [22]

Explanation:

The words energy and force are not interchangeable - they are not the same as each other. A force is a push or a pull which is easily demonstrated and felt but energy is a slightly more abstract concept. They are measured in different units: force in Newton's and energy in Joules.
