Answer: option B) Organism Y has the benefit of not having to find a mate.
Explanation:
Unlike organism X, Organism Y is capable of reproducing it's young ones by undergoing meiosis or in the presence of a mate supply gametes that will then be fused together into a new offspring as characterized in sexual reproduction; AND ALSO in the absence of a mate undergoes mitosis, binary fission etc as characterized in asexual reproduction.
During Meiosis 1 in Prophase 1 crossing over occurs. The two chromosomes switch part of their genetic information. Also independent assortment occurs during meiosis which is the formation of random combinations of chromosomes in meiosis and of genes on different pairs of homologous chromosomes.
True. Without this many different species would not be alive today.
