The mutation resulting in sickle cell disease changes one base pair of DNA so that a codon now codes for a different amino acid, making it an example of a missense mutation. Missense mutation is the mutation characterized with <span>changes in one base pair so that the whole amino acid is changed.</span>
Some examples of limiting factors are biotic, like food, and mates. Limiting factors can affect the populations of both plant and animal species. An invasive species is an organism that is not indigenous, or native, to a particular area.
Sexual reproduction produces genetically different offsprings which do possess variations, hence better chance to survive in the environment.
Option C
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
Sexual reproduction is the process of reproduction where there's a fusion of gametes from a male and female of the same species, resulting in a zygote and eventually an offspring. Sexual reproduction is very advanced type of reproduction which is very expensive for an organism. Much of the energy of the organism is spent to produce gametes and other necessary processes for reproduction.
Gametes of the sexual reproduction is produced mainly by means of meiotic cell division. This involves crossing over and chaismata formation which helps in genetic variations in the offspring. These variations help the species to survive unknown changes in environment, and helps to adapt quickly lessening the chances of extinction. So sexual reproduction has modified various times in different groups of species.
