Errors during duplication, errors during recombination, the movement of genetic elements, and dna damage
The correct answer is option B. The scientists were studying if the mud snails can reproduce both sexually and asexually. The characteristics in the study included parameters such as the mating season, number of offspring, effect of environmental stress conditions and lack of mates. Out of all the parameters being studied can affect asexual reproduction in the mud snail but lack or presence of mates is a parameter required to be studied to determine the mode of reproduction i.e. sexual or asexual because need for mates or mate dependent reproduction occurs in case of sexual reproduction.
It all depends on what kind of liquid it is, if you were to use water, the plant would be fine, but if you were to give it, say, car gas, the plant would most likely die..... I hope this helped!
