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.
Answer: Having a non-functional vestibular apparatus.
Explanation:
Motion sickness is a feeling of sickness that is caused by the movement. It occurs in a vehicle like boat, car, train or bus. It can also occur in the amusement rides. This is not life-threatening. It can make the ride or traveling unpleasant. Motion sickness happens when the brain receives the disturbing message related to the motion and the body's position. These messages are delivered from the ear, eyes, skin receptor, muscles and the joints sensors.
Among the options given, Having a non-functional vestibular apparatus. is not the associated with the development of motion sickness. The vestibular apparatus is associated with ear if the ear sensory system becomes non-functional then it will reduce the sensing of motion sickness.
In multicellular organisms, the shape of the cell helps determine its function. For example, red blood cells are donut-shaped to easily exchange oxygen and freely pass through narrow blood vessels while nerve cells are long so when connected to other nerve cells they can span long distances in the organism
The correct answer is: marsupials.
Marsupials are actually defined by their ability to hold the young in the pouches, where they can be well protected. Some examples are Kangaroos and Koalas.
Other answers are wrong: for example, gymnosperms are plants, not animals.
