Question

A scientist is studying two types of worms. Worm X has DNA identical to its parent. Worm Y has a combination of DNA from two parents. The scientist determines that one of the worms has a survival advantage over the other worm. Which statement correctly summarizes this conclusion? Worm X reproduces asexually, which gives it genetic variation. Worm Y reproduces sexually, which gives it genetic variation. Worm Y reproduces asexually, which gives it more DNA. Worm X reproduces sexually, which gives it more DNA.

Answer 1

Answer: B

Explanation: Having two parents gives you both of their genes(for this case the worms) giving the child a mixture of the parents genetics therefore giving it more genetic variability

Answer 2

Answer:

2. Worm Y reproduces sexually, which gives it genetic variation.
