Answer: Sexual reproduction is advantageous over asexual reproduction because it reduces the rate of mutation accumulation.
New Zealand mud snails reproduce through asexual and sexual modes of reproduction. Asexual reproduction allows these organisms to reproduce more number of offsprings. Asexual reproduction advantageous as these organisms faces natural disaster conditions like tide, drought results in the decrease in the population. Therefore, does not get mate to undergo sexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction in these snails results in genetic variation in offsprings. Sexual reproduction results in increase in mutation rate in the genetic material being passed to offsprings because of resorting of genetic material being distributed from parent to offspring. This will result in genetic variations. Hence, parent will be different from offsprings. In asexual reproduction offsprings are the clones of parents as there is no resorting of genetic material takes place.

Explanation:
There are three main aspects of photosynthesis
(i) Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
(ii)Photolysis of water
(iii) combination of water and CO2 to form carbohydrates.
The second and the third aspects of photosynthesis are controlled by the availability of water. Plants absorb water from the soil through their root hairs and it moves up to the leaves by capillary action.
Hence, if there is no rain (drought), the soil will lack water and so does the plant thereby hindering the uptake of water for the second and third stages of photosynthesis.
the Arizona poppy, lie dormant during drought only to germinate, grow, flower, and yield seeds a few weeks after the rains return.
Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied (transcribed) to mRNA, which carries the information needed for protein synthesis. Transcription takes place in two broad steps. First, pre-messenger RNA is formed, with the involvement of RNA polymerase enzymes.
If a rodent eats grasshoppers and if the falcon eats the rodent. The rodent food supply is being diminished so the rodent's population also diminishes, so the falcon as diminishes as well.
Answer and explanation;
-All lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Some of them also contain nitrogen and phosphorus. The four main classes of lipids are fats, waxes, sterols, and phospholipids. Fats are triglycerides.
-The functions of lipids include storing energy, signaling, and acting as structural components of cell membranes.
-Lipids are water-insoluble (hydrophobic), and this property is put to great use in the organisation of cells and tissues.
For example; phospholipids are a class of lipids that is amphipathic; that is it contains fatty acid tails that are hydrophobic, and a phosphate head that is hydrophilic. This means the phosphate group will orientate itself towards water and away from the rest of the molecule, and also gives rise to the special properties that allow phospholipids to be used to form membranes.
