<u>Answer</u>:
"It increases the mutation rate" is an advantage of sexual reproduction
<u>Explanation</u>:
The basic thing of evolution is fundamental, as it helps in generation of genetic variation on which the selection can act. Sexual reproduction leads to genetic diversity, and this genetic diversity leads to increase the mutation rate. Genetic diversity occurs because of two various cells which are combining together and biological assortment which happens at the time of cell division. Neutral genetic diversity in the population leads to high mutation rate.
This is an example of evolution through natural selection. The peppered moths started off with a light color scheme when the industrial revolution started, and they had this to blend into the trees. The better the moths could blend in, the less likely they were to be preyed upon. Once the trees changed colors, the light moths were vulnerable. The months that thrived in this change were the darkly colored moths. These moths then bred and spread their dark color pattern to best fit into the new environment.
Forest fires actually help the environment, they remove plants and trees that are useless and leave space for new plants and trees to grow. After 26 years after the fire, the forest will start to grow again and will be green once again.
Have a nice day! :)
