Some organisms undergo asexual reproduction through mitosis, while others reproduce sexually, and their cells undergo meiosis to

produce gametes. If there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem , which process do you predict would be most beneficial to a species?
A. Meiosis: It increases genetic variation, which helps ensure the species will survive.
B. Meiosis: It produces more daughter cells, which increases the population of the species.
C. Mitosis: It causes genetic mutations, which may be favorable to the species.
D. Mitosis: It produces more offspring in a short time, which makes it likely that some will survive.

The answer is <span>A. Meiosis: It increases genetic variation, which helps ensure the species will survive.

Meiosis increases genetic variation. This means there is a great variety of genotypes among the population. Hence, there are organisms able to survive in a wider range of temperature. If </span><span>there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem, some of the organisms will survive because their genotype allows them to live in such conditions. If there were no variety thanks to meiosis, all of the organisms would die. And that is not beneficial to a species.
Imagine on the other hand that mitosis occurred. Mitosis does not provide a variety of genotypes and all of the organism will be the same. </span><span>If there were drastic changes in temperature in an ecosystem, all of the organisms would die because all of them could respond to the change in the same way.</span>

Sindrei [870]

Answer & Explanation:

Aquatic plants don't have to deal with drying stress, so, for example, the number of stomas will be lower or even absent. Also, the pressure and temperature conditions underwater are way different than on earth. Therefore, the movement of fluids and metabolic products will be quite different.

The cytoplasmic extensions that, together with the cell body, provide the main receptive surfaces for neurons are the
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- D.

Explanation:

Neurons are the cells which help in the transmission of the signals to and fro from the CNS and PNS to the body and vice versa. The structure of the neurons is divided into three main parts: the axon, dendrites and the cell body. The dendrites and axons are the extensions of the cell cytoplasm and together constitutes the neurites.  

The dendrites are the extensions of the cytoplasm which receives the signals either from the cell surface as well as the from the post-synaptic neurons and further process the signals.

Thus, option- D is the correct answer.

Oxygen and CO2 are exchanged between capillaries and alveolus. Do capillaries contain deoxygenated blood while alveolous contain
dalvyx [7]
The aveolus is surrounded by capillaries. So capillaries carry deoxygenated blood to the alveolus where the oxygen from the alveolus diffuses into the blood in the capillaries. The deoxygenated blood is now oxygenated and is carried out of the lung via capillaries that then merge into the pulmonary vein.

In other words, alveolus does not have oxygenated blood it just puts oxygen into the deoxygenated blood hat this brought in.
